<prompt> Human: Called in sick this morning for my second consecutive day. I had checked up earlier in the week with my boss letting her know that I was still sick and that my current status is in question. I had to take today off as well for a very bad cold. When I called this morning I was told Id need a Dr. note when I return for my next shift. I didnt find this to be such a big deal until after the fact. Sat in urgent care for 2 hours when I should have been resting, paid 50 copay for it, all just so that I could give my employer a Dr. note. I am not being compensated for my sick time either. I am missing out on hours not worked.What can I do about this, if anything?  <response>: If your company has the policy that you need a doctors note for the second consecutive day, it is your responsibility to get it. You could possibly ask for it, but there is no way to demand payment for it.
