Anyone know if you give sick pay when a staff member has the day off for a childs general paed appointment (not emergency just general waiting for month type thing).

I know if the child is sick or has an emergency its paid under personal carers and compassionate leave as a sick day but unsure if its just a doc appointment? or should they use holiday pay?

thanks - I did google but it doesnt specify that example

sanity is over-rated
with my kids appointments i have generally booked leave for the day, sick leave is usually unexpected leave.

If its planned appt then it can not be sick/carers leave. We have to use flex or annual leave at my work (fed gov).

My workplace always used personal leave (sick/carers) for these sort of appointments. It's not like you can make these appointments out of hours.

I took carers leave (paid) a few weeks ago when my daughter had to have a procedure done in hospital. It wasn't an emergency, but it was still defined as caring because she couldn't go alone.

I always booked annual leave as I knew in advance, but I also have the option to use sick leave.

For me, if I took time off work to take one of my kids to a booked appointment I'd be taking FACS (family and carers leave- government job). It's not like they can take themselves there.

Any time I need to take the kids to the doctors I use personal leave, which encompasses sick and carer's leave

I thought perhaps sick pay, but at my husbands work anytime any of the kids have had an operation or neurological assesment where my husband has needed to be there his boss always put it under holidays and said it wasnt sick pay as it wasnt an emergency and it was pre-booked so therefore holidays.
