Which of the following is an example of unethical behavior by an employee?

Completing work on time
Taking a sick leave to play golf
Helping a colleague with a project
Filing a report honestly

The correct answer is: Taking a sick leave to play golf

Taking a sick leave to play golf is an example of unethical behavior by an employee because it involves misrepresenting the reason for the absence. Sick leave is intended for employees to recover from illness or to manage medical needs, and using that time instead for leisure activities is dishonest. This behavior not only violates workplace policies but also undermines the trust and integrity expected in a professional environment. On the other hand, completing work on time, helping a colleague with a project, and filing a report honestly all reflect positive and ethical behavior. Meeting deadlines demonstrates responsibility and professionalism. Assisting a colleague promotes teamwork and collaboration, while providing honest reports fosters transparency and accountability in the workplace.
