[Tupps]

[Lee_P]

super shady see the union

[SaxoAL]

tough sh*t. If you've booked it off, you've booked it off. Full stop. That what I'd say.

Unless they offer you double time (or extra hol day) for your troubles.
Unless you have made prior arrangements for 2moro?

[josh1989]

had you already been given the day off or were they still considereing it?

[laura_g]

got the hospital

[Hanuman]

youv booked it off (if you REALLY dont wanna go in) then tell them you booked it off as per the requirements which were accepted, now you have already made plans which you cannot change.. full stop you wont be in work

[laura_g]

had you already been given the day off or were they still considereing it?

considering it in a way

[SaxoAL]

How long notice did you give them?

[josh1989]

considering it in a way

well i suppose it's not as bad then, if they'd already given you the day off then it's shady, my work rang me up as i was queing up to check in for a flight saying i no longer had the night off! gutted for them tbh!

multinational and foreign direct investment eh gotta love how tempremenatal they are!

[SaxoAL]

if you haven't had written confirmation, then I'm afraid theres not alot you can do. If it was just word of mouth, it would be moral/immoral of the boss(es) if they did/didn't allow you to have the day off.

Do they know its for a hospital appointment, and forgive me for being nosey, is it an important hospital appointment?

[laura_g]

yep it is important i just wont turn up to work if i get the sack i get the sack im not even bothered lol

[Hanuman]

mental we want foreighners to come take our jobs, and also ship the other half off to their countries, no more said on that matter as it will no doubt go along the lines of banned.

[Hanuman]

if its a hosp app you need sit down and talk to them explain you WILL be taking emergency time off ( i think every company in the uk has to allow that) they cant ask specically what its for state its emergency time off for a hosp appointment you need and cant get out off. if they sacked you for that they would easilyyyy be in the wrong

[SaxoAL]

I'd explain to the boss that it is an important appointment, and make sure they have cover (even in form of a temp) as you HAVE to make that appointment. I doubt very much they would argue it to be honest Laura.

[Hanuman]

p.s if they do sack you, jump on the plane to krakaw change your name to loski rejeswki and theyl give you your old job back:P

giggles

[Oli_K]

tbh id work,arnt they getting u a 15k company car ?

[laura_g]

yep but i aint been happy in the job for a while now so havin a company car that would mean even more work id rather go without

[AdamW]

Say that you had a dentist appointment and if they are willing to cover the cancellation charge your more than happy to come in

[laura_g]

hosp sounds more important though dont it

[Marcos]

just pull a sicky :p thats what i would do

[Quick]

Hospital Appointment "Women's Issues!"

Boss should let you go then!!

[laura_g]

nah its nothin to do with the fact im women or not lol its over adrenline in my blood

[boz]

tell them you have woman probs ;)

jobs a gud un

[sexylittleass]

I would just take the day off tbh, tell them you can't come in as its a hospital appointment they shouldn't say anything about it as appointments are hard to get at the hospital, its not like you will get another one in a couple of days you could end up waiting months for another 1 :p

[Lee_P]

nah its nothin to do with the fact im women or not lol its over adrenline in my blood

yeh but what we are saying is if you say women problems no boss in the world asks anything else they just nod and walk away


i tried it but sadly didnt work:panic:

[Kelly]

They have to honour hospital appointments by law so even if you go and they sack you then you'd have a good case for unfair dismissal

Do they know this appointment is for the hospital cos if not then that will be why they haven't honoured it.

[Graeme]

just go to hospital and then go in work when you can problem solved :P

[laura_g]

aye thats what i have to do now graeme still abit annoyin

[Lee_P]

just go to hospital and then go in work when you can problem solved :P
