    Yep, employers can decide when you take your leave. It's a bit crap that they're not letting you take just one day off in a month's time, but I don't know if there's a huge amount you can do.

    If it's your wife's appointment, then I don't know if that changes anything. Force Majeure leave wouldn't apply to a scheduled appointment. If it's your appointment, then that's different.

    It sounds pretty unreasonable of them though, unless that's a particularly busy time at work or something.

    Have you explained to your employer that it's important that you attend this appointment?
    In my job, we are encouraged not to take time off in the first three months of the year due to it being our busiest time - however if we carry forward days (at managers discretion) this must be taken before March 31st.. so as Eoin said it is up to the employer really. But most places would be able to work around this, after all it's just a once-off.
