Hello,
my employer repeteadly refuses giving me time off for doctor's visits. Does that qualify for OWP for vulnerable workers or something?

Tell your employer that you will use a sick day, vacation day or take unpaid time off for the appointment. But no that doesn’t qualify you for VWOWP. Cannot you not go to an appointment before or after work or on weekends? What is your job?

If getting time off is a big issue, you might want to check out affordable online medical services. It could be a good way to consult a doctor without missing work since you can do it from home or even during a break. Some of these services offer flexible hours, so you might find one that fits your schedule without needing to ask for time off.
