What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
My fiance has developed the early stage of carpal tunnel from his job, bad enough that he can't pick up our daughter easily. They're going to cover the occupational therapy from it, but our concern is that the office is open during normal business hours, which is usually when he's working. Going to the appointments (not negotiable, he's going) will cause a financial hit to us if the time isn't paid. Just the driving is an hour round trip. He took his PTO earlier this year when I had emergency surgery and has mere hours at this point.
Will his employer be required to pay for the time he's spending going to these appointments rather than work?
