What it is: a request for vacation, PTO, sick or personal time with the dates, total days or hours and a manager decision section.
Requesting time off
Give the first and last day off and the total in the unit your employer uses: days, or hours if PTO accrues by the hour (a 3-day request on 8-hour days is 24 hours). Check your balance first with the PTO calculator. For leave covered by FMLA, your employer may require its own certification forms.

Questions
How far in advance should I request time off?
Follow your employer's policy; two to four weeks is common for vacation. For foreseeable FMLA leave, 30 days' notice is expected where practicable.
