I had someone do that. First day to start and was super sick. Went to the doctor and all but didn't have any paperwork or proof. Sorry but i'm skeptical when people call out on a regular basis.
I would be weary of someone who calls off a lot and probably suggest a doc trip at that point, but I get sick and don't go to the doc every time because it's a waste of time and money. And everyone's level of handling sickness is so different. I can be sick with fever and a respiratory illness and work through it with meds, but like last week, my whole family got some kind of stomach bug, and it was 24 hours of vomiting and diahrea and there is no way I could work through that!
of course, there are some who think the sniffles is reason enough to call in, so I think just sitting down and having a clear talk about expectations will help a lot and hopefully, they have a stong immune system!
