doctor appointment definition
doctor appointment means an appointment with a medical doctor, or undergoing treatment or procedure prescribed by a medical doctor. The term “medical appointment” means an appointment with a legally licensed chiropractor, osteopath, chiropodist, podiatrist, naturopath or optometrist. When requested, the employee must provide a signed medical certificate (with the cost, if any, paid by the Corporation) confirming the employee’s attendance at the appointment. Employees are asked to try to schedule all such appointments outside working hours when possible. Approval to attend a medical appointment is subject to operational requirements and the need to ensure that sufficient personnel are available to provide the required level of service.
