I agree you have to pay. i also agree only way around it would be change policy which may not be good thing (morale etc impact on others) . Is this very different from materniy leave as it costs money but you have to pay it ??
I can see the problem you have but I wouldn't be inclined to rule out laser eye surgery - it's only going to happen twice at most.
Just out of interest, it's not 100% guaranteed that it'll only ever happen twice - I've had laser eye surgery 3 times in 2 years....(one eye has had to be corrected twice).
Each time I needed a couple of days off to recover, so scheduled surgery for Thursdays, took Fridays & Mondays as annual leave. Didn't enter my head to apply for sick leave for it as it was my own choice to have the procedure.
Find out what type of laser surgery he is getting done - 2 weeks seems excessive. Or find out where he is getting it done and find out recommended recovery times!
Has things changed now that they need two weeks recovery ? Sounds like your employee is pushing porkies.
This employee is looking for 2 weeks off as he is claiming that as his work involves sitting in front of a pc that he cannot come to work and needs to 'rest his eyes'!
