Do you call in sick or call out sick?

Answer:
"Call in" means to place a call in to work to let them know something. It could be for a status update, it could be to check on an assignment, or it could be to inform your work that you will not be coming into the office due to illness.

"Call out" is improper usage according to Merriam-Webster.
