Script for Calling In Sick
Script 1:
Hey there, [Supervisor’s Name]! I hope you’re doing amazing today! Unfortunately, I woke up feeling rather unwell today – with high fever and body aches – so it would be wiser for me to take the day off in order to rest and recuperate as opposed to potentially spreading any potential illness to the team. I have already prepared an email delegating my immediate responsibilities to [Colleague’s Name]. If anything urgent needs my attention please reach out immediately – thanks for understanding!
Script 2:
Good morning [Supervisor’s Name]. Unfortunately I must bring bad news: it appears I have come down with something overnight – I have a pounding headache and am extremely fatigued. In order to protect both my health and that of our team, it would be beneficial for me to stay home today – though if anything urgent needs addressed please let me know immediately as well as thanking all involved for understanding.
Script 3:
Good morning [Supervisor’s Name]. Unfortunately, I woke up this morning feeling quite sick – flu-like symptoms and it seems I may have contracted something. Given this circumstance, it would probably be wise for me to stay home and recuperate as an effective preventive measure against any possible infection in our team.
Hey there! Just wanted to let you know that I’ve got everything sorted for today. [Colleague Name] is stepping in to take care of my immediate tasks, so no need to worry.

Dear [Supervisor’s Name], I hope this email brings you abundant joy and positive. Unfortunately, I woke up this morning feeling rather under the weather; I seem to have caught an illness which causes fever and nausea; due to these circumstances, it would probably be best for me to stay home and rest so as not to spread any potential illness among our team members.
I want to ensure my tasks for today are covered, so I reached out to [Colleague’s Name], who graciously agreed to take over as replacement.
