Sick time for Doctor’s appointments? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by anich4
I have so many sick hours and I almost never call in. The policy says we can use them for doctor or dental appointments, so I scheduled appointments during my regular working hours and just asked off for the shifts so I would be able to use sick time and not have to call in. I’m now being told I have to call out to use sick hours? By the same people who berated me when I did call in (I ended up having COVID). How do I use them for appointments?

The information is in the US Benefits Plan Description, which you can find on the partner hub, page 153. Specifically it says:
“For planned absences in advance of the posted schedule, the partner may use up to 8 hours of sick time per day or 40 hours per week. For absences after the schedule is posted, the partner may submit sick time hours equivalent to missed scheduled shifts.”
And allowed uses include:
“• Your mental or physical health, injury, or health condition, or if you need a medical diagnosis or preventative medical care;
• To obtain medical diagnosis, care, or treatment (including home care) for the same; or for preventive medical care or routine medical appointments, including pregnancy, childbirth, pre-natal visits, postpartum care, vaccinations, and dental visits”
Among other uses.
I’d suggest pulling up the document and having a conversation about it with your SM
