When to use it.
Time-off Request is a single-page leave request for small teams, written for UK practice. Staff give their name, work email, the type of leave and the manager who approves it, then the first and last day off, the working days it uses and who is covering their urgent work. The allowance, the Christmas closure and the statutory notice rule sit as help text beside the dates, and any leave other than annual leave asks for a line of detail. Handover notes are optional, and the confirmation says when a decision comes and to wait before booking travel.
