Can Your Employer Tell You When to Schedule Doctor's Appointments

[earthdog]

I just started back to work last week but with a 10 pound weight limit.
I have physical therapy 2 times a week as prescribed by my surgeon.
My therapy place is busy and since I started therapy in March it has always been Monday and Thursday at 11am.
Now my company is telling me I must reschedule my appointments and that I have to make my appointments around the companies schedule not my therapist.
They even went so far as to tell me today that I will have to reschedule my appointment with my surgeon on June 26th for a follow up.
Is that legal?

29 CFR 785.43 relates to "Time spent by an employee in waiting for and receiving medical attention on the premises or at the direction of the employer during the employee’s normal working hours on days when he is working constitutes hours worked", and thus does not apply to this situation.

Now my company is telling me I must reschedule my appointments and that I have to make my appointments around the companies schedule not my therapist.

Are you in fact able to schedule your therapy such that you don't miss work? If so, the same general policies apply as would in relation to any medical appointment or care that you receive -- you can take time off of work consistent with your employer's policies.

Your employer is not legally required to grant time off work for hospital appointments. Your employment contract will state whether it’s allowed and whether the leave is paid or unpaid. It also comes down to your employer’s discretion.

If you are pregnant, you can take paid time off to attend antenatal appointments recommended by your doctor, nurse or midwife. You’ll need to get your employer’s permission to attend, and they are allowed to refuse, but they must be reasonable, i.e. it’s not reasonable to question your doctor’s advice.

If you are disabled, your employer should allow you to take time off for hospital appointments; otherwise, it could be seen as discrimination on the grounds of disability.
Your employer is not legally obliged to grant time off work for doctor's appointments.

Your employment contract should explain whether you’re allowed time off work in this situation and whether the leave is paid or unpaid.You just need to be aware of your rights and verbal warning

If your contract does not cover time off for doctor's appointments, your employer may still offer you leave at their discretion. However, some employers require staff to take leave out of their holiday entitlement or make up the time later on.
