Working and Privacy?

Is there a law about not having to tell someone other than a supervisor or HR rep that I will be out of work and the reason?

Do I have to tell someone who is just one a "help desk" that I cant come in?

Thier Job is to answer a question like can we do this for a customer and what does this mean on a bill. What gives them the right to know what I am doing away from work?

If there is some Kind of law can you please help me?

    Inform the supervisor when not reporting for work and others need not be informed of the absence.

    Management has the right to establish a process for informing the company that you will miss work. If the person at the help desk is the one designated to track absences, or to relay infromation about absences to someone else, then you would have to inform her.

    Otherwise, you need not answer co-workers questions about missing work.
