I don't think the sick calls are as big an issue as everyone makes out to be. I'm guessing once your calling out more than 10 random times throughout the year you may have to explain yourself a little, but being honest goes a long way.
I'd venture to guess that this is probably the most accurate. Assuming of course, it's not some outrageous number.
It's primarily and honesty test. If you called in 5 times that year, and told them 5 times that year, they call and and it's in fact 5 times, well then the honesty check is complete. The candidate DIDN'T lie nor was dishonest about their sick calls.
Again, assuming the number isn't some crazy amount.
Same with the tickets/traffic violations. Just tell the truth on how many, if applicable.
