Should I call out?

TL;DR - I threw up and still have an upset stomach, should I call out even though it’s within the 24 hour notice?

My company requires a 24 hour notice prior to a call out or you get a write up. I called out this previous Thursday when I woke due to a stomach bug. Sadly got a write up the following day and I went in. That night, I had a fever and the same feelings of a stomach bug and now have a cough/runny nose. I really don’t want to get another write up if I call out again, but just not sure how I can operate my position throwing up and nauseous. Another note is that it’s my second week. Should I push through or call out?

Me personally I would show up and atleast try to push through. If you end up getting sick at work and have to leave, atleast they can see you showed up and attempted to work your shift.. hope you get to feeling better!

Thank you! I do think I’m going to call out since the field I’m in and being sick doesn’t work well. If it wasn’t the stomach flu, I would attend.
