Yes, its true.

The following conversation is series of e-mails exchanged between a British call center employee Kyle Doyle, who called in sick the next morning when he wasn’t. Unfortunately for Kyle, his employers got to know of it.

Here’s the email exchange between Doyle and the HR department.

Niresh,

1 day leave absences do not require a medical certificate as stated in my contract, provided I have stated that I am on leave for medical reasons.

Thanks

Hi Kyle,

Usually that is the case, as per your contract. However please note that leave during these occasions is only granted for genuine medical reasons. Your line manager has determined that your leave was not due to medical reasons and as such we cannot grant leave on this occasion

Hi Niresh,

My leave was due to medical reasons, so you cannot deny leave based on a line manager’s discretion, with no proof, please process leave as requested.

Thanks
