My office is backwards (we are a NFP) and we submit PTO requests (vacay, sick, personal, etc.) on paper. I just put in for 1/2 sick day on Wed and another full day on 10/6. Both are baby-related appointments. I checked off what type of time I was taking and how much, and submitted it through the proper channels.
I got the requests back today and someone (most likely the nut's assistant) wrote in that I was taking my sick time for doctor's appointments. When I questioned her on it, she said that was what we were supposed to do. Bullshit. I've been here for 2.5 years and no one has corrected me when I've put in a sick time request. It is also not in our employee handbook that you have to specify why. And I believe it is an invasion of my privacy. It is NO ONE's business why I am taking my sick time! Especially me, of all people, after what I have been through. I saw other people's signed requests for sick time in their mailboxes this morning and no one had written down what they were taking their time for.
Even though I am excited about my appointments sometimes and people ask how my daughter is doing, I guess I need to stop being happy and sharing with people.
Anyone know who is in the right here? Do I have a right to be concerned about this "policy"?
