Do I have to tell my employer why I want a day off?

This number varies depending on your position and your company, but one thing applies to everyone — we don’t have to tell our employers why we’re taking a day or week off and how we’ll spend that time. In short, you don’t have to explain anything unless you need to take more time off than your contract allows.

Can you get fired for requesting days off?

Can your boss deny you a personal day?

Can a boss ask why you are taking a personal day?

Employers often ask the details of the illness and how long the employee expects to be out. There is no federal or state law prohibiting an employer from asking certain questions when an employee calls in sick. If your employer has a paid time off (PTO) system, you can most likely use your PTO for any purpose.

Can you be terminated for medical reasons?

The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) makes it illegal for your employer to discriminate against you due to a medical condition or perceived medical condition. Discrimination can include any adverse employment action, including firing or termination.

In California, employees are also entitled to leave for a serious health condition under the California Family Rights Act (CFRA). An employer cannot terminate an employee because he or she has an illness or medical condition, or because the employee is on medical leave.
