Hospital appointment

Post by Mgmrfc »

Been waiting on an MRI scan for my foot. Got an appointment letter in on 18th march and brought it in to show it to dom on Monday 20th march so he could plan for my absence on 15th April (Easter Saturday). Got informed this morning that he wouldn't be giving me the day off and it would be up to me to try and arrange a swap with someone. Can any one advise where I stand in this one?

Medical appointments:
Employees should be encouraged to try and arrange medical appointments outside of
working hours, but sometimes, this is not possible. When an employee needs time off to attend an appointment that
has been scheduled during working hours, there is a legal requirement to facilitate time off. You might do this by
arranging for them to make the time up, swap shifts with a colleague or offer paid time off...
