Have you come down with the latest bug that’s going around? You may be ready to get up and face the work day besides, but should you? Presenteeism — or going to work when you’re sick — is a common phenomenon and you may think you’re doing your company a favor by being there. But sick workers are far less productive and can even spread their virus to their co-workers. possibly that sick day isn’t looking so not good after all, huh?

Obviously, company policy weighs heavily on your decision. After all, no one wants to get fired for having the sniffles. But whether you have some sick day and an understanding boss, here are some tips for helping you decide whether you should get to work or curl up on the sofa:

Stay domestic:

• fever
• chills
• fatigue
• deep, phlegmy cough
• earache
• pinkeye
• severe sore throat or white patches
• sinus pain (not contagious, but may need an antibiotic so see your doctor)
• stomach flu

Go to Work:

• sniffles in the absence of the above symptoms
• dry cough
• mild or tickly sore throat
