Add Comment Question: I travelled and my flight was delayed which led to me getting home after 2. The next day I was scheduled to work. But called in to let them know and told them I guess I will put it in as a sick day. Can they force me to convert it as a vacation day even if I am not on vacation or as an unpaid day which I personally think is more understandable? Thanks Answer: This will depend on your company's vacation policy and sick leave policy. You can request in writing to have the day listed as an unpaid day off.
