[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rude comment.  I only have one child and I think it's alot of apppointments but what can I do.  Dentist and Derm and Primary and yearly GYN care visit.  Not to mention random sick visits and every 6 month ear cleaning at the ENT (my kid is waxy). Add in my appointments and it's a Bonanza.  What dr. visits are folks sending their teens to cause my teen has a full drivers license but no dr. will see her without a parent or guardian present.  I wish they would...it would make it easier for me.  You folks with more than one...hats off to you for making it work..[/quote]

this is why you have vacation day and personal days Sick days are for being sick not running errands.

Physcials are you serious. My doctor opens at 8am and I schedule a year in advance on a Friday at 8am as I know may be remote or slow in office and will go in late

and only use dentists and orthodonists open on weekends or have a late night. I myself had bad alergies and went every week for 52 weeks once. My guy had a late night and a 1/2 day Sat. My boss did not even know.

I have three kids. The youngest just turned 18. I say I took 1-2 days off for kids appointments between all three. Kid sick is a different thing.

I have people who work for me who do 3-5 a year and I have to speak to them to stop We litterally have a health care app where you can pick doctors by hours.

One staff lived 50 miles away from work would pick lunchtime appointments by his house claming he needed a full day. It is a scam.

Right.  It doesn't really cross my mind to use a sick day for a routine visit.  Annual leave, yes.  More likely an 8am appt (some of our drs open at 7:30) and then an hour late for work, which I make up that day by working late or similar.   [/quote]
You are a complete idiot if you are wasting precious annual leave on medical appointments instead of using sick leave (assuming you accrue separate banks for each). Our sick leave slips even have a box for attending medical appointments/examination. One thing I’ve learned in these times is that employers generally give no effs about their employees (and I actually have a boss who is great) so I’ll be damned if I’m going to do sh!t like scheduling medical appointments on weekends or at 7 pm, or basing my selection of medical providers on their after hours options, in order to suit my employer. I’m going to take the sick leave I’ve earned for legitimate medical appointments for myself and my kids. Sorry not sorry.  [/quote]
