According to the Salaried Exempt Employee Information handbook;

If an employee is ill at work or requires time off for the purposes of attending a dental, physiotherapy, optical or medical appointment, provided the Employee has been given prior authorization by the Employer and works one hour in a half day that the Employee is absent for those purposes, such absence shall neither be charged against the casual illness entitlement, nor shall a deduction in pay be made for the time lost in the half day in which the Employee became ill or attended the appointment.
