A time off request form does not have to be overly complicated. It just needs to be a basic document where employees can provide information about who they are, what kind of leave they need to schedule and when they need to be away from work. There should also be spots for employee and supervisor signatures as well as a place for the HR department or management to verify if the employee is eligible for leave.

Simplifying Requests for Time Off
It's only natural that employees will need to schedule time off from work for various reasons on occasion. Because of this, every company needs to have a form like this one to simplify the process for requesting time off from work. Otherwise, employees will end up making oral requests or submitting vacation request letters when they need to ask for time off.
Using an official time off request form is preferable, as it provides a standardized way for vacation, sick time and other leave requests to be submitted and processed.
