Know Your Rights: Medical Appointments - a guide for London Underground staff
Submitted by Admin on 10 August, 2008 - 23:00If you have a medical appointment, how should you and your manager deal with it?
- You are supposed to arrange the appointment outside your working hours if possible. But the company accepts that it is not always possible.
- If the appointment takes you out of only part of your shift, you should get paid special leave.
- If the appointment takes you out of your whole shift and you have not been able to arrange cover, you may have to take annual leave; if that’s not possible (eg. if you have run out of annual leave entitlement), you should get paid special leave.
