Before you send it

Say which half you need and the time you will arrive or leave.
For a sudden need on the same day, speak to your manager first and send the application after.
Some offices call this "short leave" and limit how many you may take in a month. Check your policy.

This is a general format, written by us, to save you time. If the company has its own printed form, use that form. Last checked: 11 November 2026.
