Quick answer

Leave, sick days and overtime stop living in chat threads — one request, one approval note, an automatic monthly log and a payroll-ready export at month end.

About this template

Attendance and leave requests usually scatter across emails, chats and paper. This form puts them in one place: employees submit leave, sick days or overtime with dates and reason, the manager approves or declines with a note, and each record drops into a monthly log you can hand to payroll.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an attendance and leave request form?
A structured form where employees submit leave, sick days or overtime and managers record the decision — every request stays a dated record.
Can we match it to our leave policy?
Yes. Edit request types, accrual wording and approval fields to match your policy.
Is it free?
Yes. Copy it into your FormLM workspace and customize — no per-seat charge.
Who sees the decisions?
The requester gets the approval note; managers and HR keep the dated log.
Does it replace a time-tracking system?
For small teams it often does: requests, approvals and a monthly export. Larger HRIS setups can use it as the intake layer.
Can employees attach documents?
Yes — for example a medical certificate for extended sick leave.
