Sick Days and the Self-Employed
2MinuteCommute has been quiet this week and for that I apologize. I caught a nifty stomach bug which put me out of commission for a few Days. It also got me thinking about sick days and us self employed folks. One of the definite pluses of being self employed is that it's okay to get sick. We don't have to worry about calling in, running out of sick days, or getting in trouble. However, the flip side to that is if we don't work, we don't get paid, period. There is no one to cover for us and no paid sick time. Is it still worth it? I think so. The freedom and flexibility to take time off when you need/want to is invaluable. So long as you're smart enough to have something in your savings account and disciplined enough not to take time off for every little sniffle, you'll do fine. How do you handle sick days and your business?
