Can my employer deny me a doctor's visit if they know that I have diabetes & they knew the appt was scheduled?

Last I knew diabetes was not considered a disability. I'm assuming you need your job and possible health benefits they provide. You might check with human resources at your company.

Probably not, depends on your local industrial relations laws (IR). The employer will argue that diabetes is an on-going condition, not a medical emergency and that you should make those appointments in your own time - even if your doctor only works your office hours. If you can do that it will make your boss happier. With diabetes it is probably best to take as little time as possible off for appointments etc - save the time off for when you are actually sick. Good luck.

No they can not especially if you gave them prior notice. You can read up on the employee with disabilities act. If you go into a diabetic coma on them they will wish they let you go to the doctor. Take care of you. They don't care about you that's the bottom line. If you get fired then I suggest you file a law suite against them and get paid.

Yes and no. They cannot deny you a doctors visit and that is a violation of the EDA in theory. But unless its an emergency (which this is clearly not) then they have the right to expect a good faith effort on your part to schedule around the job.

No one can deny you a visit....unless they're your doctor.
Can you stay employeed if you leave work? That's about your sick leave contract....read it!

Reschedule your Doctors. appt. Jobs are important. Ask your job, what would be a good time.

I DONT THINK
