Is my employer allowed to deduct 1 day of sick leave if I worked in the morning and went to see a doctor in the afternoon as I was unwell?

Question

Accepted Answer

There is no provision in the Employment Act for half-day sick leave. Your employer can treat the sick leave given as one full day's sick leave, or choose to provide more favourable benefits by allowing you to take half-day sick leave.
