Hi Maureen

I found the info from infertility network very useful & passed to our HR managers.

A protocol was devised & it is preferred that individuals attend appointments in own time as with other appointments where possible.

Otherwise it's at the managers discretion - we also look at individuals role when on treatment & make adjustments as required due to the regime & side effects of medication used. Our HR did originally want to be informed by individuals undergoing such treatment until I pointed out that they do not require this info from those who can become pregnant naturally!! They decided then that individuals could contact us!!

Hello,
I am new to the list. I would welcome any advice / comments /guidance
regarding 'special leave'arrangements for fertility treatments. The
company I currently work for do not seem to have any formal policy and
managers' opinions vary greatly on what is deemed to be a reasonable
period of absence.
