I have done some research to help my fellow New Jersey residents who plan to call out sick a few times this summer to enjoy a day at the beach.

Calling Out Sick In New Jersey

Let's be real. It's summer in New Jersey, and we all want to be out on the beach on the most beautiful days of the summer.

The problem is, we don't always realize how beautiful a day is until we wake up in the morning. At that point, we only have one choice: a solid last-minute "call out sick" plan.

That's where the research comes in. Yes, there are experts who offer advice on how to make your call as believable as possible, and we turned to them for answers.

Expert Advice On Calling Out Sick

There is one thing that a vast majority of the experts agree on. When you make the call, you must keep it brief. You are closer to being caught with each passing word.

We all do it. The more you talk, the more likely you are to mess up and get caught in your summer white lie.

But what about the reason for your absence that day? It's as important as anything else in the scheme. The experts have advice on this as well.

The Top Aliment For A Fake Sick Call-Out

The experts we found had a theme for this as well, and more often than not, the best "ailment" is to say the word stomach.

It's perfect because it's the easiest to act out, plus if you have stomach trouble, most bosses won't want you around anyway.

If you make it past this stage, experts say to remember to stay off social media all day, and you are in the clear.

Accomplish all that, and you have the day off. Enjoy the summer. We are not responsible if this plan goes bad.
