So, through flexi time you can make appointments for dentists/doctors at any time of the day and not generally when your shift is over (which i'm sure many of us do/did). That's a good way of f***ing them a bit. Make an appointment at ANY TIME. Watch the screws sweat as your round isn't taken out in normal fashion.10.00am (anyone not using half/full flexi days) must be in work at or before that time. The only time when you can go outside core times is for genuine appointments. Genuine appointments include e.g.
Doctor
Hospital
Dentist
Asked to attend jury service
Job Centre/Job interview
Study leave/to sit an exam
Other valid reason to be out of work e.g. sessions/outings with support worker.
