Leave Request Form Template

Paper leave forms and scattered Slack messages make approvals slow. This template gives your team one short form for time off, so managers get a clear request they can approve from wherever they are.

Great for

• Small teams approving annual leave and sick days
• Shops and studios covering shifts when someone is out
• Remote teams that need a paper trail without HR software

Ask only what you need to approve the request: who is asking, what kind of leave, and which dates. A short reason field is enough for context. Extra policy checkboxes belong in your handbook, not on the form.

Share the form link in your team chat or pin a QR code in the break room. Each request arrives as a notification, so you can approve while the day is still moving, then export a CSV when payroll needs the record.
