What makes a good leave application

Keep it short and clear: who you are, the type of leave, the exact dates, a brief reason and a polite sign-off. State how your work will be covered if it’s planned leave, and how you can be reached if something urgent comes up. That’s exactly what each template above does.

Frequently asked questions

Which format should I choose?

What reason should I give?

Keep it brief and truthful — “fever”, “family function”, “personal work”. You don’t need to over-explain.
