Question Off sick

Hello there,

What is the verb that is used with 'off sick'


ie: John called in off sick today / John called to say that he was off sick/ John called off sick / John went off sick?


I don't know how to compose the sentence.


Thank you

Either "he called in sick" or "he is off sick" or "he is out sick"..
