[quote=Anonymous]Some people abuse this. My last job had a  guy who lived like a 90 minute commute from the office who tried to take 8 hours sick time for minor doctor appointments and claim given his three hour round trip he  needed whole day off. At time we did not have work from home.

HR told me to tell him he still needs to drive in after his appointment. As with one appointment what about rest of day.

Then guy schedules a mornning and afternooon appointment. Now I get stuck asking him what for as HR thinks he is scamming. He says I can show you proof, I got my Dental Cleaning in Morning and Eye Exam in afternoon.

I go fine and I go BTW I went to Dentist yesterday there is one by work and guy opens at 8am so I do cleanings there and I use Mr. Eye Doctor which is by work for Eye Exams can do it at work at lunch time. He was like on a rant now you are telling me what Doctors I can use.

In end it was all nonsense. The commute was too much for him and he was just stacking sick days with vacation days, with Personal Days even trying FMLA days to avoid commute and he was job hunting. He was a nice guy. But in reality it gets abused so much.

BTW my Dentist in Bethesda right by Metro due to RTO now is open 1/2 days on Saturday and he has Cleanings now start at 7am. And my Doctor in Bethesda now starts appointments at 7am. And the Orthondists all open late and on Saturdays, CVS Minute Clinic is nearly 24/7. Due to RTO and way less WFH than 2020-2025 in 2026 Doctors adjusted.

So taking off for a kid should be a sick kid emergency and if staff married it should be split 50/50 between wife and husband. Or kids has a 104 fever and you need to be home.

I have a SAHM who works for me with two young kids and I bend over backwards as she is honest. But I often get FOMO people who are like can I leave early, come in late, call out sick more cause she does it and makes up excuses. It is weird. So then we have to crack down             [/quote]
