Work Leave Hospital Apt - asked to show apt card

Hello,

I asked my employer for time off for a Hospital appointment and they asked to see the appointment letter - prior to the appointment. I am going to black out the details, department, doctor and procedure. Is it legitimate for them to ask am I wrong to Probus provide the details

If you're not just taking normal time off, its legitimate for them to want to know that the appointment actually exists.

Thanks! It is acceptable for me to black out information?

Get an attendance letter from the hospital.

What is that and would that not be given after the appointment

It's exactly as it says and you get it on the way out the door

If we have to attend hospital appointments, we don't have to show proof of appointment in advance, but we do have to provide proof of attendance.

Usually whoever is running the check in for the clinic will have pre-printed attendance letters where they just fill in your name and date, if you ask for one (no other details).

My employer is looking for the appointment letter prior to the appointment, not after it

Then just give them a redacted version.
