[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my opposite sex boss will not sign off on sick leave for doctor appointments unless I tell here what the doctor appointment is about. for example.... hey larla I submitted a sick leave request for 4 hours so I can see a doctor. I saw it but you didn't fill in the comments section telling me why you are seeing the doctor so I can't approve it until you do that. Umm..... I'm having to wake up at night to pee so I need to get a prostrate exam...... [/quote]

You need to report this one to HR. [/quote]

+1.

If she thinks you're abusing sick leave, she can likely ask for a doctor's note, but she cannot ask you for private medical information. How are there people in government that still don't get it?[/quote]

If sick leave is accrued/earned, how can there be abuse?[/quote]

Bc it's meant for sickness and/or dr appts -- not bc you just want a day off. NOT suggesting that that makes PP's boss correct. Who on earth would want to know about someone else's prostate exam?? If she's so strict why not just require a dr note w/o requiring a medical reason??[/quote]
Do you go to the doctor EVERY time you're sick. I know I don't because sometimes it's just a cold but I feel crappy and I have sick leave so I'm going to stay home. This is ridiculous. If it's earned it should be yours to use as needed!!![/quote]
