The Employer Is Required to Provide a Phone Number

We have been informed by employees that when calling in sick to work they are required by certain departments to call a pager and wait for a callback

The only employee obligation is to notify the department of their absence, and the employer/department are obligated to provide the employee with a contact number. A number where the employee can make their one call to notify the department of their absence.

Once you have made the sick call, you have respected your obligation and are not required to wait for a callback.

L’employeur est tenu de fournir un numéro de téléphone

Des employés nous ont informés que, lorsqu’ils appellent malades au travail, certains départements leur demandent d’appeler un téléavertisseur et d’attendre un rappel.

La seule obligation des employés est d’informer le département de leur absence et l’employeur / le département est tenu de fournir un numéro de téléphone à l’employé. Un numéro où l’employé peut composer un seul appel pour informer le service de son absence.

Une fois l’appel effectué, vous avez respecté votre obligation et n’êtes pas obligé d’attendre un rappel
