It is up yo your employer.Most reasonable companies will allow you to have a day or part day off ,but they can decide whether you are entitled to be paid or not.If you know in advance that you will lose money,and you can't afford this,then book a day off your annual leave.An employer cannot stop you going to the appointment .Another factor might be the reason for your hospital visit and whether it will be a regular requirement to attend a hospital at frequent intervals.

I am not sure, i think you must try to ake all appts out of working hours and that employers do not have to pay for the hours you are absent from work. I know if you are pregnant it is different as your employer must let you (within reason) go to any prenatal appts. Not sure about long term illnesses either. Best to speak tp your employer as rules can vary between different companies.

Ideally, there should be mutual understanding between employers and employees of organisations. I see no reason why your employer should not allow you to meet hospital appointments or refuse to pay you for that day!

They can't stop you from going to hospital appointments, but they don't have to pay you for them. Unless it is because of an accident or illness caused by work.

Ummm...yes, they can refuse to pay you for a day in which you performed no work for the employer. You could consider using a day of vacation or any accrued 'sick time', if your employer has such a program.
But don't expect to be paid when you don't work.

I think they may refuse to pay for time,depending on terms of your employment, if you signed a contract check it

It depends. You have to be allowed to take the time off if you need it, but with or without pay is determined by your job and employer. If you have vacation/sick/personal time, you can use that.

they are if you have a valid appointment card and they should also allow you paid time off to go so long as you come straight back to work after
