How Do I Write a Leave of Absence Request?

To formally request a temporary leave of absence, you should submit a request in writing to your manager, including the start and end date of the leave period and your reason for requesting leave.

Rather than writing a letter, it’s easier and more efficient for employees to fill out a standard leave of absence request form. This ensures that there’s a record of all the relevant information.

With our leave of absence request form template, you can automatically save employee leave requests to your WordPress database for later reference.

The form contains fields for recording the details of the employee who is requesting a leave of absence, the name and email of their manager or supervisor, the dates of leave they are requesting, the reason for requesting leave, and any other comments. There’s also a field to collect a digital signature from the employee before submitting the form.

You can customize this leave of absence form to edit or add extra fields. You can also adjust the settings to send automatic notifications to the employee’s manager, the HR department, or any other email.

An additional option is to use this form with the WPForms Form Locker addon, which you can use to restrict access to verified users.
