Pretty shitty grammar/spelling skills even for a HR manager.

The reason is irrelevant, but unless they have PTO available, I'd say that you'll have HR follow up. Let them handle the dumb.

This isn’t true whatsoever but if it is and he’s been top notch then just give him the day off and forget about it. Some people are really good workers and have weird hang ups. If he does it again; then eventually tell him to pound sand and find a new guy.
My brother is a completely normal human being and he was moping around for like a month after Kobe died in the helicopter crash. I was like wtf is wrong with you dude? Only conclusion I came to is that sometimes things hit home and put the limits of life in perspective and thats kind of scary.

Make him use a vacation day if he has any. It's not a sick day, so I would not allow that. If he has not vacation time, don't pay him for that day and tell him that situations like this cannot happen again.

When people have this attitude I wonder what kinda folks they are managing. Hourly workers making $10/hr? I would never treat the professionals that I manage like that.

Does it really matter? Does he need a doctors note?
Coonass boss told a co-worker offshore he needed a drs note to use one of his sick days. Are you 12 or something? I’m a grown arse man.

You either manage minimum wage workers or you have a ton of turnover.

What's your policy for requesting time off? Follow it. If you don't have a policy, make one and let the guy take his allotted time off. It's not his fault you were too short sighted to have a leave policy.

For everyone saying just consider it PTO, is it typical to just call in day of and take vacation days? I'd expect more from professionals. But my perspective may very well be flawed since I spent my career in military where we had to get leave days approved. Couldn't just call and say "sorry fam, not feeling it today. My favorite team lost or celebrity died."

That depends on the policy. Where I work we have have vacation days and sick days. Generally speaking, sick days can be used with little to no prior notice. Legally you would run into some challenges for denying sick leave. But supervisors do have the discretion to request a return to work notice from a doctor. Though those are pretty easy to come by in the internet doctor age.
Vacation time would generally require a request and approval in advance.
Vacation days can be used in lieu of sick days if you run out of sick days. But sick days can't be used for vacation.

The craziest part of this thread is that there are still companies that differentiate between sick days and vacation days.
Charge him a day. If he has no days, dock his pay if he can’t go negative.

Louisiana is an At-Will state.

This thread may be a record for misuse of this term.
"Right to work" deals solely with the ability to work for a unionized employer without being a member of the union. Mandatory union membership at unionized employers is legal in states that have not adopted the "right to work."
The phrase the posters should have used is that Louisiana is an "employment at will" state. In such a state, your employment can be terminated for "good reason, bad reason or no reason." There are numerous state and federal exceptions to this doctrine.
Again, "right to work" is a concept relating to mandatory union membership at unionized employers.

Apparently you are the only poster here who used the correct term for the ability to fire an employee without reason.
