Can I take time off for a medical appointment?
Yes, medical appointments are a common reason for time off. You can use personal or sick days to attend appointments.
Medical appointments, whether routine or for specific health concerns, are a normal part of life that may require time off from work. Most employers allow employees to use personal or sick days for these appointments, especially if they cannot be scheduled outside of working hours. Informing your employer ahead of time about the appointment ensures that your time off request is processed smoothly. If you have ongoing medical needs that require frequent appointments, discussing flexible scheduling or other accommodations with your employer can help manage both your health and work responsibilities.
