As same sex marriage is legalised in more states in America, what implications does the US Supreme Court Ruling have for the same sex marriage debate in Australia?
A. No, you can only use an administrative leave day, personal holiday or vacation day. Sick time with pay is defined as a necessary period of absence because of illness or exposure to contagious disease. The illness of an employee should be recorded in the Absence Reporting System as S for sick. Sick time should not be taken for attending planned, routine medical or dental appointments.
An employee must request sick leave within such time limits as the agency may require. To the extent possible, an employee may be required to request advanced approval for sick leave to attend to a family member who is receiving medical, dental, or optical examination or treatment, to care for a sick family member, or for bereavement purposes.
