If you need to attend a medical appointment, you should attempt to arrange this for either early or late in the day to minimise any inconvenience. If you work part-time you should try to arrange medical appointments for your non-working day(s). Should you be away from work for half a day or more, this will be deducted from your annual leave entitlement. For absence of less than half a day you should make up the lost time during the next couple of weeks.
