Medical appointment time should not result in an employee receiving straight overtime for the workweek. Medical appointment time cannot exceed two hours within a scheduled pay period for full time non-exempt employees. If an employee has medical appointments that exceed two hours within a pay period, the employee must use Sick Leave for all additional hours. A non-exempt employee must work the day of the medical appointment. A non-exempt employee who is off on Sick Leave or other PTO cannot use Medical Appointment Leave during that same time off period.
