Great Excuses For Missing Work [With Examples]

We all need a day off sometimes. While in an ideal world, your employer may want perfect attendance from you, there’s going to be one day when you can’t make it into work.

There are many reasons you might need to miss work (or why you might want to), and some are more professionally valid than others. Some excuses are seen as normal and reasonable occurrences, while others make you seem unprofessional or not dedicated to your job.

If you find yourself constantly wanting to miss work or coming up with fake reasons for not coming in, you may want to think hard about what it is that’s making you dislike going into work so much. Missing work too much is a sign that something’s not quite right, and you should consider making new arrangements in your life.
