My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: i just called out of work and my excuse that i told my boss was i have to finish writing a research paper for my college class that i have 2nite. and my boss just told me that i have to find someone to cover my shift or its going to be a no call no show when i just called them to let them know i will not be coming in. should i not have even told them my reasoning for calling out? should i have just kept my mouth shut and just told them i cant come in today?
