Time Off Request Form Template
Employees use this form to request time off, share leave dates and work coverage plans, and identify their manager.
When to use it
- Requesting vacation or personal days
- Planning leave that spans multiple workdays
- Sharing a handoff plan before time away
- Routing a request to the employee's manager
What it asks
- Employee name
- Work email
- Type of leave
- First day of leave
- Last day of leave
- How will your work be covered?
- Manager name
Why it should be encrypted
Leave dates and work email are personal employment details, and the leave type may reveal private circumstances. Keep answers from being read by coworkers or anyone who doesn't need them to handle the request.
Tips
- Add a note explaining how far ahead employees should submit requests.
- Clarify what details you expect in the coverage plan.
- Limit access to managers or staff who process time-off requests.
