Leave request form with a PDF record

Time-off requests tend to arrive as messages, calls and sticky notes. This leave request form gives everyone the same short path: who is asking, which dates, what kind of leave, and a note for the manager, followed by a signature.

Who it is for

When to use it

Use it when someone wants time off, whether a day or several weeks. Because each request is a separate response with its own PDF, you can file it with the employee's record and refer to it later if there is a question about dates.

The PDF your respondents receive

The PDF lists the employee, the dates, the type of leave, the note and the signature, in the same order every time. It is a record of the request; approval itself stays with you, outside the form.
