Working on weekends is something that is becoming extremely hard to escape these days. We are no longer in a time when we could walk out of office on Friday and think about work only on Monday again. Most employees have to do some sort of work on weekends even if it is not full time. There can be no permanent solution to the problem of working on weekend. But we can tell you how to not work on weekends once in a while.

TELLING SIGNS THAT YOU ARE TOO PUNCTUAL

We all need to switch off from work once in a while. However, the modern corporate culture does not allow us to rest in peace even for a single day in the week. That is why, if you have to use some unfair means to escape work on weekends, it is not such a big crime. Here are some really cool excuses for not working on weekends.

Lose Your Phone
You can just switch off your phone on the weekend and say that you lost your phone. Your office people will not be able to contact you and thus, you don't have to work. On Monday, exchange your phone with your spouse/partner/friend and turn at work saying you lost your phone. You both get a weekend off in the bargain.

Fall Sick
Thankfully, falling sick on the weekends does not require you to apply for sick leave as of now. So you can safely call in sick for the weekend when you desperately need that break. It won't work every weekend but then desperate measures have to be taken in desperate situations.

Travel Plans
You do not actually have to travel, just make travel plans to let your boss and colleagues know that you are out of town this weekend. This is very original way to skip work. If you want to know how to not work on weekend, then watch the travel channels and make elaborate plans. You can always say that your plans got cancelled later.

Occasions
You can invent some anniversary or the other for the weekend to escape work. Birthdays are a little difficult to fake due to Facebook these days. But you can always have your first look anniversary or your grand aunt's 50th marriage anniversary plans to escape working on weekends.

Medical Checkups
These days, most people schedule there health checkups for Saturday. Start talking about how sick you feel from Thursday, so that your boss is in the loop about your weekend plans. So when you say that you are at the doctor's ward for the weekend, your boss will not have a problem. In fact, your boss think it is better you take the weekend off to get yourself checked instead of call in sick during the week days.
