Leave of Absence Request Policy

💡 Policy Purpose

Our Leave of Absence Request Policy provides a clear and standardized procedure for employees to request time off from work. This policy ensures that all leave requests are handled fairly and consistently, while also maintaining smooth operations within the company.

📝 Policy Elements

  1. Types of Leave

    • Employees can request various types of leave, including personal, medical, military, and family leave, each with specific documentation requirements.

  2. Request Procedure

    • Employees must submit a formal Leave of Absence Request Form that includes their personal details, the type of leave, the duration, and the reason for the leave. Supporting documentation may be required, particularly for medical and military leaves.

  3. Approval Process

    • All leave requests must be approved by the employee’s supervisor and the HR department. Approval is contingent upon the availability of coverage and the legitimacy of the request.

  4. Return to Work

    • Employees must notify their supervisor and HR in advance of their return to work and may be required to provide a fitness-for-duty certificate if they have been on medical leave.

🤝 Acknowledgement and Compliance

Employees must acknowledge their understanding of this policy and comply with the procedure for requesting and returning from leave.
