A recent survey found that a lot of Americans are willing to lie to get more time off from work.
The survey by Adecco Group North America found that 47 percent of full-time workers have called in sick to take a day off.
The survey also found that 27 percent have used jury duty as an excuse, and 26 percent have claimed a death in the family to get extra vacation days.
The poll found that when employees call in sick, 72 percent of their co-workers believe they're faking it.
522 full-time workers were surveyed.
The poll was conducted between November 21st and 25th, and has a 4.3 percent margin of error.
