[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question for OP - would you use PTO for an appointment to get your hair cut and colored, or a visit with a personal stylist, or a mani/pedi? Because your botox appointment, despite being with a medical professional., is much more similar to those types of appointments than a doctor's appointment. [/quote]

Yes, I would use PTO for that, but I'd come in the next day looking obviously different.

So how do I explain PTO for a vague appointment? People will question it.[/quote]

You use sick leave for haircuts?

Also if your co-workers are asking for the intimate details of your doctor's visit, then you need a new job. I mark "appointment" on my calendar and go do my thing.[/quote]

No, I use vacation time and take an entire afternoon.

The fact is, using sick time for a doctor's appointment would get the side-eye, because it's just not done at this company.[/quote]

Wow - this is the first I’m hearing that doctors appts (medical and not aesthetics) can’t be covered under sick leave.  This can’t be common, right? [/quote]

You only use sick time if you're... sick! Not for well visits.[/quote]

No, that's not the typical interpretation of sick leave. It's usually acceptable to use it for any medical appointment, notwithstanding self righteous PP. [/quote]
