    I need to go intohospitalfor a day proceedure
    Nothing serious but has to be done.
    I need to fill out the request form for a day off but do I have to take it as a holiday or is it sick leave?
    I am not actually sick - it is just a test.
    I am not quite a full year there and am not permanent yet.
    I would appreciate your advice.

    Sick leave is at the companies discresion in most cases, read your employee handbook and contract.

    I know in my place, I wasn't permanent until I was there 6 months.. and until I was permanent, sick leave was unpaid.

    Just ask I suppose!

    Take it as leave. Sick leaves are not looked upon favourably by most companies (this is often unofficial)

    Only your HR person can tell you.

    But if I had to guess... if you were in the company for a while and had developed your relationship with HR, you could probably take it as a sick day. But you're new so will probably have to take it as a day off.
