Can I ask to leave early for personal appointments regularly?
Yes, many companies offer flexibility for regular appointments if you make up the time elsewhere.
If you have recurring personal appointments, like medical visits, and need to leave work early on certain days, you can ask for this flexibility. When making the request, offer a plan to make up for the missed time, such as coming in early, working through lunch, or catching up on tasks after hours. Many employers are open to flexible arrangements as long as the work gets done and there is clear communication. It’s important to show that your productivity won't be negatively impacted.
