How do you manage Dr. appts with a M-F job?
Ive always worked full time but 3 days per week (long days!) but am looking into getting a regular M-F job. How do you manage Dr. appts? Since they are all during regular business hours? I know every job is different, just getting a feel of how people’s jobs are with managing it. Thanks!

Answer

I communicate with my boss and let them know when my appointments are and just go during the day. We have paid sick time and that’s specifically what that time is for. Otherwise we can just make up the time during the pay period. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I book the first available appointment of the day. Otherwise I’ll book them over my lunch break.

Answer

I’m a teacher an I’m trying my best to save my sick leave. I have my apt. Scheduled during breaks, or at the end of the day when I can leave a little early and I’ll make the time up the next day or so. But my. Boss is amazing, he has 3 kids an understands how important these apt. Are. I had to leave school yesterday to go to the hospital to be checked out ( was having contractions ) and he didn’t mind me leaving they found someone to cover my classes and I had to rest all day today. You just have communicate with your boss an if you can get your apts. a few weeks in advance that’s helpful.

Answer

Schedule the very first one in the morning or very last one in the evening. Always try for Monday or Friday..... 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I’m a clinic receptionist and most people seem to schedule the first or last appointment of the day if they work during normal business hours. That way they can either go in a little late or leave a little early and not disrupt their work to much

Answer

My boss is pretty understanding. I’m salaried so I don’t need to use any sick hours, but i usually make up my 8 hours that week somehow. It’s always good to have open communication with your boss. I did IVF so I had lots of dr appts that I had to get to and I was able to work it around my meetings and what nots.

Answer

When I was pregnant I made my appointments for my lunch break. My boss actually suggested it. Now that my son is born I scheduled the last appointment of the day for him. My boss is very flexible thank goodness!

Answer

Look into the latest they offer appointments and if they do any weekends. I work three days a week so I schedule my appointments Tuesday or Thursday after my husband is home so I don’t have to tote my toddler to the office.

Answer

Ask your boss when’s the best days/time for you to make your appt. at first you’ll only really be needing an appt once a month and if you aren’t far from your doctor you should need a whole day off so I wouldn’t see a problem

Answer

Depending what your job is my old job when it was still here they had a shit fit for whenever we book a half day off or they would say no and when they were giving us a hard time with about we didn’t care we would call in sick.
