appointments:
a) For any medical doctor appcintment (not to include

b) Some evidence satisfactory to the employer is required to
claim sick time for doctor appointments (e.g. an
appointment card);

without payment if an employee ceases to be an employee.

of 100% of normal wages are received by the employee.
