what's illegal about it.?
you must call in a lot and he's just checking to see if you're home. he might even be worried that you need to be in hospital.

Of course it's legal. However, you must have given your employer cause to question your "sick" time. Have you called in sick often in the past?

There's no law that says an employer can't call you to check on you when you call in sick. It's definitely a pain in the butt, and I would question whether I wanted to continue working for a boss like that, but you can't sue them for it.

AGAIN! IT obviously depends what country u live in!





Ppl should say what country they live in, cause for all we know, they could take steps and end of going to jail. Because someone told them: Sure! u have full rights to do so!

I don't know if it is illegal but it does seem to be an invasion of privacy. Does your your job have sick day policy, or is he calling out of concern?
