And "work" is who you are calling, meaning some people who also work for the same employer. If I were sick, I would call my department secretary to inform her that I would not be in.

I think you are correct! I thought that "call work" was a unique verb or expression, but with your explanation I understood it better! Thanks a lot for your help!
