A leave application letter can be used by employees to inform their supervisors that they would like to request for a break from work for a defined period of time, with a legitimate purpose or reasoning for taking that break. One of the common reasons for taking leave is to study and prepare for professional exams.  This letter provides key details such as duration of leave, name of the qualification sought, and assurances that steps have been taken to minimise disruptions to work and that value will be added to the company upon its completion.

How to use this Document?

This document should be used after an employee has talked to their supervisor either in-person or on the phone. An employee should also add-in any additional details as he or she sees fit. For instance, informing your supervisor that you have also communicated with the rest of your team and have taken steps to make sure that things will run smoothly during your absence.
