Should Sick Leave Be Granted for Plastic Surgery?

Employers are finding themselves confused about whether or not to grant sick leave to their employees who request time off for plastic surgery.  The procedures often require that patient’s remain home for several days, weeks, or even months to recover.

Some employers are struggling to figure out how they can give their employees enough time to recover, but also have the numbers necessary to run a business.  With more and more people getting surgery- men and women alike- employers are finding themselves in a bind.

Some are requiring that their employees take holiday pay or special days for the surgery and recovery time.  To find out more about this, talk to your boss before you ask for the time off.  Work it out with your plastic surgeon, as well, to learn what procedures offer the shortest recovery times.
