7 Best Excuses for Leaving Work Early
5. You have a doctor’s appointment
You don’t always need to be sick to have a doctor’s appointment. It can be an appointment with the dentist or it can even be one of those regular checkups with your family physicians. You won’t need to pretend that you are sick nor will you have to make up any random sickness later on. You can just tell your boss that there was nothing abnormal in the reports and the doctors gave your health a clean chit.
6. Your children need you
If you are a parent, your children’s lives can be the perfect excuse you can use to leave early from work. For example, you can tell your boss that your children are stranded at a mall and they need you to pick them up. You can even say that your little one bumped his or her head while playing or your children have locked themselves out of the house. Your boss would never want anything bad happen to your children, so he is unlikely to ever say no to such an excuse.
7. You have to pick someone at the airport
You can excuse yourself from work a little early if you claim that you have to pick someone up at the airport. It can be a distant relative or even a close family member. Just make sure that you double check on the airport’s flight schedule before you use this excuse. You will goof up in a big way if you say that your relative is coming from Chicago at 4 pm, when there are no flights from Chicago in the afternoon. You could be in serious trouble if your boss cares to check the airport’s websites for arrivals.
