Tips for writing “Leave Application” Email
- Plan it in advance
The format of your request may benefit from planning what you could say to the employer. If the employer wants to talk to you about the absence again, it can be helpful to include the sort of leave, your reasons for taking it, the dates you’ll be taking it and coming back, the final shift you’ll work before you leave, who might fill your position, and emergency contact information.
- Your request should be written down
An employer may be more likely to consider your leave and return dates if you mention your departure and return dates.
- Justify your decision
It will benefit you if you’ll include your reasons for taking time off and how it’ll impact your work schedule. Most employers want to know why you are absent so they can arrange for someone to take over your daily duties.
- Provide assurance to your employer
You may want to consider endorsing your email with a reassuring statement to help the employer plan work schedules around your absence.
- Thank You
Don’t forget to say “Thank you” for your time at the end of your application.
