If you've ever pulled a sickie in work to go shopping, head for an interview for a better job or even just to sleep in, you might not be able to for much longer.

A company in Lebanon has instituted a new scheme that they're hoping will cut down on absenteeism.

When an employee called in sick and e-mailed her team to let them know, she accidentally included a selfie in said e-mail that showed her in a onesie in bed.

As you'd imagine, pretty much everyone began replying with their own 'sick selfies' - so much so that their bosses got wind of it decide to send out a company-wide e-mail on the topic.

Zomato Lebanon's now introduced the 'sick selfie' policy that states employees have to prove their sickness by taking a picture.

If they introduce this in your place, let us know.

We've got our ones worked out already - we'll just take screencaps from the Thriller video and send them in instead.
