Question
Hi,
I would like to know if I’m obligated to do hours that I missed at work due to my child wasn’t feeling well.
I asked my boss and he didnt answer me.
Answer
ב"ה

While in principle a person is obligated to fill in the hours required at work, depending on the country you live, it has become accepted in many countries, and it is binding to the employer to pay you for a certain amount of sick days or for or for the sickness of children. Once you've verified that you will have your answer.
Happy Purim
