Doctor’s appointment? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by bang_ended_scoots
If I schedule a doctors appointment that I really need and it gets scheduled at a time when I’m already scheduled to work, do I have have to find coverage for myself or is that my manager’s responsibility?
Edit: I was recently injured and need to get it checked out, so this is not just a routine appointment that I can schedule further out.

It’s your responsibility to find coverage if you have advance knowledge of the appointment. If you have to call out sick the day of/before/etc, it is the SM’s responsibility.
That being said, my honest advice if you NEED this appointment and can’t find coverage, the day before/of call them and let them know you cannot come in for medical reasons/you are sick. They are not entitled to details. You can even say you have a fever (since you can’t work until you’ve gone 24 hrs fever free) or something if you don’t want to say you have an appointment. But like I said, past you being sick, you do not have to give them any personal/medical information.

if the schedule is already made and you’re making the appointment after, technically it’s your responsibility
