https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/nonclinical-discussions/20381/appts-in-work-time---opinions Hi all.......just wondering what your policy in your practice is with taking time to attend doctors/dentist appts when you work full time?? Do you have to make the time you take up/do you get deducted the time taken in your wages/is it allowed occasionallyen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/139363?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 03 Feb 2013 21:22:17 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:40b46c37-5e66-440f-b57f-e736085a8affSteph Worsley<p>we are encouraged to make our appts as early or as late in the day as possible to try and reduce disruption to the running of the practice....when this involves my hospital appointments the latest appt is usually about 3.50 so I end up having to leave work at about 3pm due to the travel plus finding a space to park and there is always a risk they will want to rpt radiographs so they advice arriving 15 mins before actual appt.</p> <p>That doesn&#39;t actually answer your question though! As long as it is apparent that we have done our best to get the most convenient appt then we are not docked in anyway, if we have to go off in the middle of the day then we are asked to pay back one way travel or try and combine it with our lunch break</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
