Hi, I am currently reviewing our sickness absence policy and would like to add a paragraph on IVF and cosmetic surgery.

We have two ladies working for us, one going through her 1st course of IVF and one undertaking cosmetic surgery. The lady undertaking IVF wants to go on the sick and wont undertake her normal duties during the treatment and the other lady is having cosmetic surgery, and has saved up holidays and flexitime to cover her time off.

Has anyone got a policy I could adopt or could anyone advise me as to how much time off they would grant an individual?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
