Not at all. Why would your current company give you time off to hook up with another company? Its like asking your girlfriend to give you a free pass with another girl. People don’t like to share. Companies are the same.

No, not unless there is a layoff and you are being separated from employment through no fault of your own(either termination for misconduct, or you resign). Additionally, if your position is being eliminated, you may possibly be allowed time to search for another position.

No you are not entitled to time off, why would your current employers give you time off to find a job with someone else? Think about it.
The only way an employer is ok with that is if they are relocating and you aren’t going with them, then they would understand and allow you to have time off, like one of my employers did. chances are you’ll either need to schedule the interview after work or before work and tell your employer you have a doctors appointment.
There are no rules on time off for interviews, bottom line is employer’s don’t like it.

No, you aren’t entitled to time off for any reason actually, let alone for interviews. Try to schedule interviews outside of your normal work hours.
