Sick leave hours in state
How does sick leave work in the sense, if you have a doctors appointment and want to take a whole day off for it, can you?
In other government, where I took the day off for an appointment, that was fine, no questions asked but at the state, I feel I’m being asked specifically when my appointment is and do I really need the whole day off, is this norm for the state or just varies based on supervisor?
Granted I’m not a leave abuser and have a leave balance and have never taken a day off for sick leave. I just feel driving to the office only to spend an hour or two, then to go to a doctors appointment then to return for the day seems unnecessary? Since I don’t live close to the office. Thoughts? In the federal government they’d let you work from home if you had an appointment and you could just take sick leave for half of the day or just take the whole day off.
