    Default Can strippers call in sick?

    This is my first year dancing, and my first time actually being sick. I work 2 days a week at my club, because I make very good money and dont need to work more than my once a week scheduled day, and a friday or saturday night of my choice.

    I have only one scheduled day a week, aside from having 3 scheduled days, because I chose monday mornings.. which no one wants to work. But I do decent so its not a huge burden.

    Anyways, I know that If I miss a scheduled monday that they will make me work three days, and If you don't have someone cover your shift, you get in trouble..

    I'm wondering if you can call in sick to a strip club?!?! My scheduled monday is almost here and I am SICK AS A DOG! I don't even know any of the other strippers so no one will "cover" my shift. What do you suggest I do?

    I have called in sick and nothing happened, but I was a hard worker and popular and had a doctor's note. However, I briefly worked for a lingerie company and they wanted me to pay the amount I normally paid to work for them and I ended up quitting because of it (was planning to quit anyway). Depends on the club, but some won't do anything, others will charge you no matter what, and others will not charge if you have a doctor's note.

    That seems strange to me since you can come in when your not on the schedule but you must find someone to cover your shift?? Your an independent contractor. Not an employee. If your sick, call and tell them asap. It's not like you made a habit out of missing days.

    At my club you get fined for calling in sick, unless you have a doctors note

    Yep, worked at clubs (and with that lingerie company)that charged me the same whether I was there or not. The clubs never charged me though but did hit other dancers. The lingerie company refused to have me work until I paid something like $100 but since I didn't plan on returning I never paid.

    Call in, tell them you're sick, and listen to what they say. They more than likely will tell you if they're going to charge you back house fees or have you do make-up shifts, etc. WHen I worked at PT's, as long as I called in ahead of time they didn't care. If I was a no-show no-call, I got charged.

    Depends on your club. Some will make you get a doctor's note, some will charge you fees, some won't care. Sometimes I would just call in before my scheduled shifts and tell the bartender, "Hey, it's Aurora, just wanted to let you know I can't make it in today, but I'll be back in tomorrow." Never was a big deal. But then there was a night where a girl was legit sick, came in anyway, then wanted to go home (after selling 7 dances in the first hour) and they gave her shit about it for another hour before they let her leave. You just never know...

    I would call, tell them you're sick and can't make it in, and see what they say. If they give you shit, go in for your shift and sneeze on them.

    Yeah they're part of the same parent company. But rules vary club to club.
