In our office, that's a mental health day. I don't think the real problem is why he called out, though. He lied and got caught, which is really what the core problem is. That and he's a wuss. @nyokki:

It should not matter what brought it on. This is all assuming that this doesn't happen on too regular a basis. Most companies have 1 day sick policies which do not require documentation and most allow a certain number of these sick days in a 12-18 month period. Some companies don't even call it sick day anymore, they're just personal days. @Skipper: People almost always are responsible for being/feeling ill. It should not matter what brought it on.

And at my work, our peeps come in so hungover they go puke in the parking lot and continue to work. If you imposed the illness on yourself, knowingly, I don't think it should count. @nyokki: An ankle break (in a fall) would be an unforseen accident while people drinking an entire fifth usually understand a hangover is imminent.
