If I call in sick to work, does my manager have the right to question me?

I called in sick today, and my manager snapped at me, asking, "What is it that we own that we are too sick to go to work?" and I told her that I had a sore throat, cough, and runny nose. I also told her that I didn't win much sleep. She said, "So what? You're gonna call out sick for something like this and leave us stranded tonight?" and I told her that I'm really sorry but that I did not have a feeling well. She then told me, "This is a problem. There will be issues when you come back." This is the first time I've call in sick and it's just this one day. I don't know why she is doing this, or if she even have the right to do what she did.
No, but she has the right to ask you for a doctor's note. Well your rights alter from state to state but you have sick days given to you for a reason and you have the right to hold them when you are genuinely sick. Asking you what you are sick with isn't really the problem, but she can't hold it against you when you come back. If your company have an HR department, I would get in contact with them right away to see what your exact rights are. If not, is there a manager above your boss who you can speak to privately?

Of course she may just enjoy been stressed out about being short-handed, but if she follows through on anything later you want to be protected.
It sounds like she was stressed. You own a right to call in sick, especially if you are in contact next to others and can pass this on, did you happen to mention that to her? There shouldn't be any repercussions depending on the company's policy. You should have an hand hand book that states exactly what to expect and how to handle this situation. If she doesn't follow it go over her guide, if there is no over her head look for another job. Different companies enjoy different policies. But each State has their own standard regulations. Contact your State employment board, and they should direct you to the right folks who have the right answers.

This sounds penny-pinching spirited and petty of them. It might not be illegal, but in my book is unethical. Unfortunately not every one go by the same book.
You manager does have the right to question why you're calling within sick. It sounds like your absence left your supervisor high and dry and she had no one else to hail as in to cover for you. She was frustrated and, in her eyes, she wondered if you be sick enough to stay home when the need was so critical for you to work.

She will be go between when you go back to work. I'd talk to her nearly the incident and explain to her that you really were too sick to come. Also, offer to have her ring you if someone else calls in sick, to make it up. She'll appreciate the proposition. Oftentimes, work sites are so tightly staffed that there is no one to call contained by in case of absence and it take all of the employees willing to cover respectively other to keep a department running.
If this is a serious problem, I honestly suggest you contact the Union examiner, and discuss this.

But, he does have the right to know why it is that you are staying home. As long as he isn't pursuing an interrogation, it is his right to ask.
You're lucky to even get the opportunity of sick time. If your manager requirements you to come to work, you have to go to work. If you don't like it, next start looking for a better job. Don't just quit. The best time to look for a job is while you're working. Don't burn any bridges. For adjectives of those people that hate the unions, this is a classic example of a non confederation work shop where an employee gets her chore threatened for being sick. This could not happen in a work place to be exact protected by the union. Too answer your question, without a association to protect you, they can pretty well do anything they choose--Why don't you contact a union and try to get your workplace organized?
She does have the right unfortunately as far as the law go, as far as policy and procedure go at work (I assume it is some type of retail, but I could really be off), she may not be able to say that on the first call-off. How much time did you contribute? If you called right before your shift you may have violated policy, but at my company where on earth I am manager, I wouldn't be able to talk to an associate similar to that. That is uncalled for for a first call-off (unless you only worked there a short period of time). I can't ask for documentation (doctors note) until after two consecutive shifts of calling past its sell-by date. State laws vary slightly as to this but generally an employer have the right to ask for a note every time. Just sounds like your manager have a bad day and you were the cherry on top end in we react that way sometimes and she may not mean it. Just try to work it out when you show up, and if she is still indicate, use the open-door policy and contact her boss about her demeanor. im not sure but where i work if you call within sick which is the only excuse your "allowed" to use to call in sick they will give the name your house atleast once that day and ask to speak to you because if you are too sick to be at work they think you should be too sick to be anywhere else but home, and if your not home when they call idk what they do lol but im not sure if what your controller did is ok or not just comparing it to what my company does i suppose its legal....its obsessive and kinda wrong but prob endorsed
