About this template

A time off request form gives employees a simple way to request PTO and gives managers the details they need to approve it — leave type, dates, total days, and coverage notes. This free template replaces ad-hoc emails and chat messages with consistent, trackable requests, so nothing slips through and everyone has a clear record of what was approved.

Tips for better responses

Ask for start and end dates plus a total-days field so requests are unambiguous.
Include a leave-type dropdown to keep vacation, sick, and personal time separate.
Add a coverage/handoff field so approvals account for who's covering the work.
Route submissions to the right manager and keep a record for your leave tracking.
