Can my employer write me up for calling out?
I called out for 2 consecutive days. I called both days however, I did not give a reason for calling out on my message. Can they give me a written warning for that? (California)

Like they mentioned previously, it all depends on the company policies.
For example, I can call in that i am taking a couple of days off, but i have to be sure that my work load is clear and that I have personal or vacation days available, because if I just take the days and I am behind on my work load, well that would be irresponsible of me and that would merit me being written up.

I don't know who you work for, but in my job they absolutely can write you up for calling out. I mean, it usually depends on how often you call out and how much they rely on you showing up every day. If you are a generally reliable employee then they wouldn't have a reason to give you a warning ( unless somebody has a personal vendetta ). Most of the instances I have seen where people were written up was when they requested to work certain days and then called out, or else just call out all the time. :)

If you played by your company policy (i.e., didn't take more sick days than you were allowed, called in as you say you did, etc.), then you should not be written up.
Three days without calling or coming in is considered job abandonment.

If it is their company policy to do that, I believe they can, I have seen people written for just a day of absence, as long as it is not a paid day off, they get written warning for them.
good luck.

your employer signs the check. Its a tough world and unfortunately your employer can do whatever. It also depends on how long you been with the company.
