My wife is registered disabled and has irregular hospital appointments for her conditions - they can be as many as one a month for a couple of months but then she might not have one for 6 months. As her treatments mean that the hospital advises that she cannot drive after her appointments, I need to take her. Although he hasn't actually made a direct comment, I suspect this annoys my boss as he always makes a "joke" comment on me having the time off to take her.
So my question is: "is there a policy on taking time off for dependant's appointments" or should it be on the "work an hour late" principle?
Personally, as a SNEC I always let my lads have the time off for this sort of thing as I knew they'd be working late somewhere down the line, especially 1st line.
