Leave application format for office
- To: your reporting manager, with HR in copy if your company asks for it.
- Subject: the type of leave and the dates, e.g. “Sick leave application for 12–13 November”.
- Body: the dates and number of days, a short reason, and who will handle your work.
- Close: how to reach you in an emergency, then thanks and your name.
Apply in your HR system too if your company uses one (Keka, greytHR, Zoho People or similar). The email or letter is your record; the HR system is what payroll counts.
