Booking time off shouldn’t take a back-and-forth email chain. This annual leave and holiday request template gives your team a clear, consistent way to request time off — and gives managers everything they need to approve it without chasing for details.
Staff pick the type of leave (annual, unpaid, compassionate, study or working abroad), set the dates and total working days, and — crucially for a busy agency — note who’s covering their live work and flag any client deadlines that fall during their absence. That context turns a leave request from a scheduling headache into a quick yes.
Use it for annual leave, holidays and any planned absence across the team. Route requests to the right line manager, keep a clean record of who’s off and when, and stop two people on the same account booking the same week. Customize the leave types, add your branding, and embed it on your intranet or share a link in minutes.
