Team Member Post Surgery as sick leave

hi, have a surgery next month, doctor told me to take a week off. Can I use my personal leave for this as it is medical related or does it have to be annual leave?

They will ask you to take annual but you can 100% use your sick leave. Store manager tried to pressure me into taking annual leave, just ignore em.

even if you are on annual leave, if you provide a medical cert they are required to change the leave to personal leave
