[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our agency has said situational is ok. Immediate manager has claimed its fine for Dr appointments and other non reoccurring things but I am suspicious. [/quote]

My supervisor said No telework for Dr appointment anymore, if there is an appointment in the middle of day, then employee may need to take whole day off, it is unlikely that employee will go to office for a few hours.[/quote]

Did you have people abusing that? I have someone that had a medical appointment every day last week. She previously talked about scheduling appointments specifically to make a case for situational telework. I wouldn't ordinarily care, but it is going to look awfully suspicious if they look at timesheets and see she didn't come in at all one week.

Absent of any other direction from senior mangement, other than that situational telework is supposed be rare, I'm inclined to make my own policy that you need to some in-person for a portion of the day when yoi request situational telework for appointments.[/quote]

She should be fired for being an idiot that takes doctors appointments every single day.[/quote]

At first I thought she was just trying to take care of everything before we lost situational telework, but then it got ridiculous.[/quote]

Honestly she better have doctors notes. I’ve seen people disciplined for this. We were told you only get 4 hours of sick leave per appt (unless of course it’s some specialty appt that you drive hours away for).

When I worked downtown and my shuttle only ran during rush hour, I would schedule two appts in a day. Like dentist at 10am and doctor at 2pm because I was unable to come back into work after an appt. [/quote]

I live a 2 hour train ride from the office (hired remote!) and have been thinking about stuff like this and trying to schedule as much as I can on the same days before RTO, so appointments are out of the way for a while. My providers just don't have the availability to allow me to do this though. I've been trying for weeks to get ANY PCP appointment. [/quote]
