A Leave Request Mail is a formal way for an employee to formally request time off from work. It should include not only the dates and hours requested, but also a discussion of why the employee needs the leave and any other pertinent details. In some organizations, leave request mails must be approved by an individual in authority before they are officially granted. Leave Request Mails provide an important means of communication between employers and employees as they facilitate both notification and discussion around requesting leave. They also help ensure that all parties involved understand the requirements and obligations that come with taking leave.
