Sick pay should cover it

You have to have someone with you for at least 24 hours from when you wake up. You'll need at least 2 days off. Tell them in advance should go down as sick leave

Is this a text you've posted here by accident?

I’m guessing an operation and needs someone with you for 48 hours you told them In advance and want it as sick leave

too many variables a lot of the advice sometimes is just arse covering and do you really need 48 hours

it depends what it’s for if your having your gallbladder out the. Yes the grey area with some companies is when it’s elective something like a face lift then they might ask you to take it as leave. But this is a grey area

might help if your post made more sense

There was another thread where someone was asking about time off after gynae surgery. This might have been an ill-fated attempt to reply to it?

If you’re going in for an operation it’s planned sick leave. Whether you get paid sick leave or not depends on your employer.

The person undergoing surgery gets sick leave.
The person required as a plus 1 gets dependants leave / carers leave if available. Otherwise annual leave or unpaid

Im expecting unpaid when DH has an operation shortly - hopefully next month. Told 2 months waitlist. Suspect it will be next year tho, so msybe annual leave.

I think the OP has started a new thread instead of answering the one about how long to take off work after a GA and also how it should be taken.
