Time Off Request Form 2026

This form collects everything a manager needs to review and approve a time off request, in a logical order that mirrors how leave is actually planned. It opens with identity and department questions so the request is routed to the right person, then asks the "Type of Leave" question to categorise the absence before moving to dates. The "Start Date" and "End Date" questions are followed by the "Is this a half-day request?" question, which refines the total duration without requiring a separate form. Optional questions about coverage and additional context let the employee flag handover arrangements and explain sensitive absences like bereavement, while the "How urgent is this request?" question at the end helps managers prioritise their review queue. After submitting, the employee sees a confirmation message letting them know their request has gone through and to expect a follow-up by email.
