Re: Doctor's appointments while on Worker's Comp

I think that it is okay for an employer to ask that you schedule the appointments outside of working hours, as long as you can actually do so. In a lot of cases, though, it is just not possible. It just depends on the specific set of circumstances with which you are dealing, and what factors are actually under your control.
