This checklist outlines the steps for employees to request time off, ensuring all necessary approvals and documentation are completed in a timely manner.
Ensure that the employee understands the company's time off policy, including how much time off is available and the process for requesting it.
The employee must fill out the time off request form, detailing the dates of absence and the reason for the request.
The completed form should be submitted to the direct supervisor for review and approval.
The supervisor reviews the request against staffing needs and company policy before approving or denying the request.
The supervisor must communicate the decision to the employee, whether it's an approval or denial.
Approved requests should be documented in the employee’s file and the HR system to keep accurate records.
If the request is approved, arrangements should be made for coverage during the employee's absence.
