Use of Sick Leave for Medical Appointments. The Parties are in agreement that medical appointments may utilize accrued sick leave to ensure no loss of earnings for attendance at same, but wherever possible, the timing of such appointments are to be scheduled for an employee’s compressed day or at times outside of normal working hours. If such scheduling is not possible, medical appointments are to be scheduled for the end or beginning of the work day, where possible, to minimize loss of working hours. Should an employee be required to attend a medical appointment during the course of the normal work day, employees must ensure their supervisor is aware of the time needed for travel to and from such appointment. As it is not appropriate in most cases for employees to schedule a medical appointment and then take the remainder of the day as sick leave, supervisors are to be made aware of the anticipated return to work time of such requests to better enable workforce scheduling and appropriate time-keeping.
