Yes they can. I used to have a boss who called EVERYONE at home when they were out sick, under the pretense of "seeing how they are feeling" when I really think she was just making sure we were home. I will add that any questions about retrictions must be work related. |

I guess with HIPPA our bosses are allowed to ask why were out sick |

I suppose that there is also no reason why one could not let the answering machine pick up, with the rationale that your are sleeping/too sick/don't feel like talking. |

My boss used to call from her cell phone and hang up. Other employess would get similiar hang ups while they were out sick as well. I would think, if it could be proven, that this would fall more into the category of harrassment. |
