Time off: other leave
Personal
Ad hoc medical and dental appointments: If you’re unable to get a medical or dental appointment
outside of working hours, speak to your manager to decide whether you can change your shift or make up
the time. In some circumstances where that’s not possible, you may get paid time off.

Regular medical treatment or hospital appointments: If it isn’t possible to arrange these outside of
working hours, talk to your manager about how you can be supported. This may involve changing your
hours or taking paid time off where a change in hours isn’t possible.
