• How To Write A Leave Application For Office (Samples)

Featured in:

Asking for permission to stay away from the office is always difficult, even when you are entitled to it. There is always that nagging thought at the back of your mind – What if they say no? The thought is justified.

Sometimes the company just can’t afford to let you go, especially if your reason for requesting leave is not that pertinent.

Sometimes, however, your leave application gets rejected, not because of the reason behind the request, but rather because of how you make the request.

For instance, if you craft a leave application in impolite language where you literally demand to be allowed to stay away from work, you probably won’t get your request approved.

Furthermore, there is a certain format you have to follow when writing your leave application. Remember leave applications are supposed to be formal documents. The leave application is the official way to request leave.

Of course, you could of course ask your manager for leave verbally, but even if they agree, you might still have to write a formal leave application letter.

This is why crafting an effective leave application is a skill everyone working in the corporate world should learn.

If you don’t know where to start or the do’s and don’ts of leave application writing, read on for a complete breakdown of everything you need to know.

DETAILS TO INCLUDE IN YOUR LEAVE APPLICATION FOR OFFICE

In a leave application for office, you need to explain to HR or the manager why you are taking a leave of absence: what situation exactly is prompting this action?

Below are some of the important details you should always remember to include when writing your leave application:

• Your complete name, address, contact information and employee code: These are details that identify who you are.
• Salutation: This is a greeting addressed to the recipient of the leave application.
• The subject of the application: This is where you specify the type of leave you are requesting for. For instance, you could write “Request for maternity leave .” This makes it clear even before the recipient reads the letter exactly what you are applying for.
• Why you are taking leave: In the letter itself, providing the reason for your desire to take leave. It could be for health reasons, to study, to go on vacation, to take care of an emergency that has emerged, maternity, adoption of a child, and so on.
• Number of days you’ll be away: It is very important that you remember to specify the number of days you intend to be away from the work place. This will allow the company to plan accordingly for your absence. Include the date you’ll go on leave and the date you’ll return to the workplace.
• Work plan in your absence: It goes without saying that work will continue in the organization even in your absence. While you may be entitled to take leave, it is always good when you show initiative and thoughtfulness by ensuring your responsibilities and duties will be handled in your absence. For instance, you can discuss this with your supervisor or with your colleagues and ensure your most urgent duties are distributed to colleagues. You can also train a replacement (an intern perhaps). Another solution would be creating a document that contains detailed information of your daily work. You can also indicate that you will be available in case of any emergency during your absence.
• Contact Information: Provide accurate contact information to ensure you are reachable during your leave. Sometimes emergencies come up and you are the only one who can solve the problem. For instance, if you are the only one who knows where a certain key document is located, they might need to reach you for assistance.
• Official documents: You should be ready to provide any documents, if necessary or if asked for, that support or corroborate your need to take a leave of absence. For instance, if you are taking sick leave, a letter from the doctor may be necessary.

THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN WRITING A LEAVE APPLICATION

Below are some things to keep in mind when writing a leave application;

• Use a formal format: Ensure you draft the leave application in a formal format. This is because the leave application is an official letter, making your employer officially aware of your absence. You may have already informally discussed your leave-taking with the manager or supervisor, but it is the application letter that makes the matter official, which is why it needs to be written in a formal format. As for the contents of the application, we have already covered that above.
• Be concise: Don’t beat around the bush. Instead, get to the point straight away. Furthermore, don’t get too carried away explaining your reasons for taking leave – especially to the point of giving away too many personal details. Identify the most important details that need to be in the application and express them in a matter of a few paragraphs.
• Polite language: Use courteous language in the application. No matter how entitled you feel to being granted the leave request, don’t display that entitlement in the application letter. Use language that is polite, tactful, and convincing. This is especially important when you are taking a sabbatical – what some people call “ adult gap year ”. It is very easy for you application for a sabbatical to be rejected. You must therefore use tactful language to try and convince HR that this is something that a) you need, and b) might be beneficial to the company.
• Make it clear that you are coming back: Employees have sometimes been known to go on leave and not come back, perhaps due to being poached by other companies or quitting their jobs. To allay such fears, provide assurance to HR or your reporting manager that you will come back to the office and your duties as soon as your permitted leave duration ends.
• Show conscientiousness: Show conscientiousness about your duties and responsibilitie s at the workplace. That means you should demonstrate that your duties and responsibilities are important to you. If you simply write an application letter and talk about going to leave, but you don’t say anything about the work you will be leaving undone, it might give the impression that you don’t really care about your job.

Show conscientiousness by planning for how your duties and responsibilities will be taken care off in your absence. You can organize this with your supervisor or your close colleagues.

This is to ensure that there is smooth workflow even in your absence. It could also mean stating that when you come back from leave, you are going to make up for all the lost time.

• Express your thanks: At the end of the application letter, be sure to include one sentence where you thank the manager for taking the time to read through your application and (hopefully) for approving your request.
• Verbal permission: It is also advisable to get verbal permission from your reporting manager prior to writing your leave application. The application letter then becomes a way of making official what has already been approved.

THE DON’TS OF WRITING A LEAVE APPLICATION

The following are some of the things you should avoid when drafting your leave application letter:

• Ensure that there are no grammatical errors in your letter. Once you have typed it, read it at least two or three times to correct any grammar mistakes and punctuation errors.
• Don’t write in a casual tone.
• Don’t use complex terms or purple prose to show off. Ensure your application is as simple to understand as possible, something that can be read and understood quickly without having to consult the dictionary.
• Don’t use an informal format or make your leave application too long.

TYPES OF LEAVE YOU CAN APPLY FOR

1. sick leave.

This is when you take a leave of absence on account of an illness. Sick leave scenarios include physical illness, mental illness, health checkup, taking care of a sick loved one or dependent, or when you need to take time out to cope with or overcome the physical, psychological, and legal repercussion/effects of domestic abuse.

At the moment, there are no existing federal legal requirements for paid sick leave . Companies that are subject to the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) are, however, expected to provide unpaid leave of up to 12 weeks for certain medical situations.

When crafting an application for sick leave, ensure you give relevant details (not too detailed, however) to prove credibility.

2. Study Leave

This is leave you take solely for the purpose of studying or carrying out research. Study leave, with or without pay , is not a legal requirement/obligation. Whether you get it and if you get paid is up to your employer. Keep this in mind when you are applying for study leave – remember that you are not entitled to either the leave or the pay. Choose your wording carefully.

3. Sabbatical

A sabbatical leave is the kind where you (for a given period) stop reporting to work for an extended period of time but you are still an employee of that company. Another name for it is “adult gap year” or “career break”. It’s highly likely to be an unpaid leave of absence.

There are no laws that cover you if you want to take a career break. This may be the most delicate application to write.

When writing the application for a sabbatical leave, figure out how to show that doing this will make you better at your job when you come back. Don’t display any entitlement, lest you either a) get denied, or b) lose your job in the process.

4. Vacation/Holiday Leave

Vacation leave is a period when you take time off from work to rest, relax, or attend to your own personal affairs. It is quite similar to annual leave (paid time off work). While vacation leave is not covered by law, there are many employers who offer paid vacation, usually as a means to attract employees.

The approach you take when writing your vacation leave application should be informed by your company’s guidelines or regulations concerning vacation leave.

5. Maternity/Paternity Leave

Maternity leave is a period during which a mother, before and after her child’s birth, is allowed to take time off from work. The US laws do not guarantee any national statutory paid parental leave for new mothers and fathers.

That said, there are some employees who are entitled to 12 weeks of unpaid leave annually for birth, adoption, or medical leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Unfortunately, not all companies are covered by the FMLA (they have to have at least 50 employees).

6. Emergency Leave Application

This is when you need to take leave to deal with unforeseen circumstances that have emerged, such as the death of a loved one. Other scenarios include an accident, a major surgery, to visit a terminally ill family member, and so on.

The Manager Company Name Date

Subject: Leave Application Due To The Flu

Dear Sir/Ma’am

This is to inform you that I am currently suffering from the flu. After visiting the doctor on Wednesday, I was diagnosed with the flu and bed rest was prescribed.

My fever is consistently at over 100 degrees, my muscles ache, I have chills and sweats, and I cough throughout the day. I also have frequent headaches, nasal congestion, and sore throat. I am afraid that not only does my illness make it impossible for me to discharge my duties, but it also poses a risk to the rest of my colleagues who might also contract the flu if I continue coming to work.

For that reason, I am applying for a ten-day leave to ensure I am completely well when I return to the office. Attached to this application is a letter from my doctor. I hope you take my application into consideration.

Having had this discussion with my supervisor already, my responsibilities and duties have been distributed to colleagues in my department. I can therefore take this leave with a clear conscience that work will continue smoothly in my absence.

During the leave, I intend to travel, and due to the nature of said travel plans, it will be difficult to reach me on phone. I therefore urge that in case of any urgent work-related matters that require my attention, do write to me via email: [enter email address].

I will be grateful for a positive response to this application.

Thank you and regards,

I would like to take a sabbatical leave to help me renew my motivation and at the same tme increase my skills, particularly in coding and graphic design. I believe this will be instrumental in helping me take on more responsibilities and more complex tasks when I come back.

It is due to this desire for self-development and for a renewal of my passion for my job that I am requesting an extended sabbatical leave of [period]. During this time, I will take a few online courses on coding and graphic design.

Committed as I am to this company, I believe that when I resume work, I will be in better shape to give my all to the job and truly be of high value to [company’s name].

It is with the earnest hope of approval that I write this application.

Best regards,

7. Leave Application For Emergency

Subject : Funeral Leave

I write this email to inform you of a family emergency that has disrupted my life and made it impossible for me to come in to work.

Arrangements of the funeral – as well as the grief – are going to keep me preoccupied for the next few days.

I am sorry for any inconvenience that will be caused by my absence and have called into the office to organize the distribution of my most urgent duties to colleagues. In any case, I will be back at the office on [date], during which I will complete the remaining tasks.

Thank you for your kind consideration.

WRAPPING UP

The biggest take-away from this is that leave application letters should be formal, polite, and follow a particular format. The what of your application is also very crucial, and this means giving the reason why you want to take leave.

The more urgent or pertinent your reason, the higher your likelihood of getting your application request granted.

Another important thing to remember is conscientiousness. The moment you say you want to go on leave, the management starts to wonder what will happen to the work you are supposed to be working on.

Though this might depend on the context and on the organization’s protocols, it is usually a good idea for you to make arrangements that ensure the disruption in workflow is as minimal as possible in your absence.

Leave Application Letter for Office: Format, Samples, Templates

Home Blog others Leave Application Letter for Office: Format, Samples, Templates

A leave application is something everyone has been taught to write since school days. But what I have seen is that many individuals have several doubts swirling around when they actually sit down to write one. Being an employee of a private firm for many years, I have witnessed the same issue in the work scenario, too. Moreover, I feel that the leave application for office must be written in a convincing, engaging, yet formal manner.

For me, the application of leave in office acts as an official statement to let the manager know that I am planning to take a leave from work. Now, do you know the leave application format for office? If not, let me help you learn the process of drafting such a document. I also recommend taking the KnowledgeHut Professional training for further help with such workplace communication.

Why Should You Submit an Office Leave Application?

Submitting a leave application for office informs your manager or team lead about your absence from the workplace. Remaining off work without the knowledge of the management may reflect an unprofessional attitude on your side. I think it also creates a difficult situation for your respective team and may hamper the progress of some of your ongoing projects.

Hence, I think it’s a good idea to draft a leave application letter for the office beforehand. You can even send the application on the day when you won’t be able to attend the office because of a personal matter or other unavoidable circumstances.

Types of Leave Application

A leave application for office can be of various types depending on how they accommodate different situations. I have curated the common leave application types for your reference below:

• Maternity Leave Application:  A time off given to new mothers to care for their newborn or newly adopted child.
• Annual Leave Application:  A planned time off that can be accrued over a particular year.
• Sick Leave Application:  An application granted for medical appointments or health-related issues.
• Vacation Leave Application:  This time off is similar to the annual leave application and can be used for relaxation and travel purposes.
• Casual Leave Application:  A short or unplanned leave granted to employees for unforeseen or incidental reasons.
• Emergency Leave Application:  A compassionate or urgent time off granted to address sudden or unforeseen family and personal emergencies.
• Half-day Leave Application:  A type of   leave application for an office that grants the employee permission to be absent from work for half of the usual working hours in a day.

What to Include in an Office Leave Application Letter/Email?

Learning how to write a leave application begins with knowing the content that you must include in your letter or email. Therefore, what follows is my list of points that should definitely be included in your leave application for office.

• Salutation:  Such an approach will usually include the name of an addressee whose name is written in your notice of leave.
• Subject:  This section of the leave application should include the cause behind your request for leave and the date you filed for it.
• Reason for Leave: I advise that you put across the necessary details so that your application for a leave grant while transiting from office receives the attention it deserves.
• Work Plan: To assure peace of mind to customers, talk about your colleague who will look after all responsibilities when you are not there.
• Closing Sentence: Give thanks to the said individual.
• Name:  State your correct name.
• Designation:  Tell about your exact job function in the company.
• Date:  Cite the present date.

Leave Application Format for Employee

Let me show you a leave letter format for the office that will help you draft future applications with ease.

Leave Application Letters

Jobs come with their own employment benefits and perks. One of them is to avail leaves. But you do not get leaves just like that. Every company has its own leave policies and to avail them the employees must use formal ways to apply for the leave.

For this purpose, a leave application letter must be written. The process comes out to be easy, you write a leave application letter and submit it to the human resource department. They will forward it to the respective manager for approval or rejection.

With research and advancement in workplaces, the companies have very well-defined policies. The concept of verbal and unannounced leaves has been abolished.

Writing leave application letters can be more beneficial. Documentation is the core of any business/work. If it is not written or documented, it doesn’t even exist. For this reason, a written application will always be proof that you applied for the leave stating any reasons.

Writing a leave application is just not enough. A well-written leave application can result in the leave being accepted.

It is very important to write a very clear leave letter stating all the reasons for the leave. The application should include the dates for the leave period. This helps the employer to arrange for a cover in the absence.

The letter should be formal and maintain a very polite and requesting tone. Emergency contact details should also be mentioned in the letter.

It is a very good practice to attach supporting documents. This makes your leave decision stronger for the employer.

If you have arranged for any fellow employee to look after your responsibilities in your absence, that should be mentioned in the letter.

Leave application letters can be used for various circumstances such as sick leave, travel purposes, annual leaves, personal/carer’s leave, and compassionate leave. For all these leave types, it is best to apply for the leave in advance.

This will make you appear more professional. If the reason for the leave is related to health, it is best to attach the medical reports with it.

Transparency is very important and keeping the letter as clear as possible would be very helpful. Showing your plan to provide a cover and how your work will be handled in your absence increases the chances of the leave is approved.

Providing alternatives like working remotely and taking up any emails should also be a part of the leave.

Sample Leave Application Letters

Due to sickness.

This is to inform you that I have been diagnosed with typhoid. My health condition does not allow me to attend the office and perform routine tasks. I have been advised by my doctor to take a rest for at least one week. I have attached my medical certificate and the doctor’s prescription as proof of my illness. Kindly grant me leave for one week starting on 13th July. I hope to recover fully during this time so that I can resume office activities as soon as possible.

I shall appreciate your kind consideration.

Family emergency

I regret to inform you that I shall not be able to attend office for the next 2 days due to a family emergency. Kindly grant me leave for the 26th and 27th of November. I have guided my assistant to reschedule all due appointments with our clients. I shall take care of all the pending work as soon as I return to work.

I shall be much obliged to you for approval of my leave application.

Accompany father at the hospital

With due respect, it is stated that I need to accompany my father to the hospital tomorrow for his routine check-up. I, therefore, request you to grant me leave for one day, 4th May 2018.

I have already completed tomorrow’s due tasks. You may also contact me on my phone in case something urgent comes up.

I shall be much obliged to you for granting me the requested casual leave.

Hospital assistance

With due respect, I want to mention that I have been working in the company as a [mention designation] for the last two years. I have always been a diligent workforce & for that purpose, you can check my record. I was feeling a real discomfort for the last week. Yesterday I paid a visit to my doctor & he told me that I am suffering from a bad stomach which has badly affected my gallbladder.

He further told me that I need a proper examination done followed by some blood tests. To follow the instructions of my doctor I need to take a break from the office work so that I can spare some proper time for my health. By keeping in view, the above-narrated situations, you are requested to grant me leave for a minimum of one week from [date] to [date].

I shall be utterly obliged if you consider my plea.

Due to bad weather

It is respectfully submitted that I come to the office from a great distance. I have learned about the forecasting of bad weather for the whole coming week from [date] to [date]. Unfortunately, the company didn’t provide me pick & drop due to many miles. I come on my own on daily basis via public transport which on normal days is manageable somehow but in such a rainy & stormy week I am afraid that I won’t be able to make sure of my regular presence in the office.

That is why I humbly request you to allow me to have off days when the weather is too averse to cover such a big deal of distance. I assure you that this rare absence in the coming week won’t affect my official targets to be completed on time. I shall be highly obliged for this act of kindness.

To attend sudden death

It is requested that I have come to know the very sad news of my grandfather’s death in my hometown some time ago. I am in extreme grievance for the news.

I request you to kindly grant me leaves for about a week from [date] to [date] so that I may go to my family to console them & attend his funeral ceremony. I will appreciate this act of gentleness. Thanking you I remain.

To accompany a wife who’s on maternity leave

With much honor, it is stated that my wife is on her maternity leave & is only three weeks away from her delivery of our first child. This is the time when my wife & my child need me the most to take care of them in every possible way. Keeping in view my current situation I plea you to allow me to leave for at least three weeks from [date] to [date] until my child safely comes into the world as this is my right & obligation both at a time.

I knew that I will have to ask for these leaves which is why I have completed most of my tasks beforehand & have submitted them to the concerning authorities as well. During my absence, if you need any clarification or discussion to be made, I will be available on the video call to explain whatever the matter is. I will be highly indebted to you for this favor.

Annual leave request

Most respectfully, I would like to apply for my annual leave. According to my work contract with you, I can go on annual leave for a period of 21 days. I believe this is the right time for me to avail of this leave since I have just completed my recent project and there are no more ongoing tasks now. I, therefore, request you to approve my application. I wish to start my leave period from Monday 5th April.

I would like to thank you in anticipation.

Family unforeseen situation

With due honor, it is stated that suddenly, my family got trapped in some unforeseen problems. Being the sole wage earner, I must reach there as soon as possible. For that purpose, I appeal to you to kindly grant me leave for at least three days from [date] to [date].

I am on the lookout for your generous approval for this application. I hope that you will recognize the unusual situation & show your consent to leave. I shall be absolutely gratified abundantly.
