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.
You can also use sick time when your child or other immediate family member is sick or if you have a doctor's appointment. Your employer's sick-leave policy should include whether you need to bring in a doctor's note when you are sick. Even if your employer doesn't require it, bringing in one can't hurt.
