To those whose kids have graduated and are working

Okay, DH and I now have 38 employees. If someone says, even in their first week on the job, that they need an hour or two off for a doctor’s appt, we can make it happen (but they lose the pay for those hours, because they don’t have any accrued vacation time). However, it’s certainly easier if they schedule their appts for early or late.

I agree that it’s a bad idea to miss work during the first few months–but surely the doctor can call in a prescription if it’s a regular refill? If it’s not a regular refill, find a time outside of business hours. Use urgent care clinics in the early AM or the evening.
