Managing the office if you are ill

Managing the office if you are ill is all about communication. If you fall ill, you are not expected to go to work. Even if you are only in on your business trip for 1 or 2 days, if you are too ill to work at home, you are to ill to work. Most likely you will not want to stay at the hotel unless you are very ill and need a hospital. This is perfectly reasonable. It just requires a call to your host or customer to explain the situation and postpone. Also call back to your home office so they know what is transpiring and where to find you.
