A leave request is a formal request made by an employee to their employer or human resources department asking for permission to take time off from work. This could be for a variety of reasons, such as vacation, illness, or personal reasons. The request will typically include details about the dates and duration of the leave, as well as any relevant information about the reasons for the request. The employer will then review the request and decide whether to approve or deny the leave.
Your employer may also require you to provide additional information along with the request, which is why it's important that you familiarize yourself with the company policy before asking for a leave of absence.
