An employee may apply for a leave for some reason. The process for leave in many companies might be the same. In an IT company, the employee will write an email to the team leader keeping the project manager’s email ID in the cc or bcc field. If the user is an experienced employee, he may not know what to write in the mail. He may simply write “I won’t come to work because I’ve contracted a viral infection” without specifying the number of days for which the employee may not come to work. A team leader or business owner may get several such mails. Many businesses ask users to fill a printed leave form and submit the same. Although email services have filters to find emails by email address or by topic/content and the traditional method of accepting printouts is easy, an alternative way of handling leaves would be using a leave application form. Here’s a form created with the free form builder FormsBook:
Our sample leave application form (demo URL) lets users enter the reason for leave, the start date from which the employee won’t come to work, and the date on which his leave will end. It also has a drop-down list through which the employee can select his/her work department. Also, our form has two textboxes in which the user must enter his first name and last name. With FormsBook.com, you can create a similar leave application form for office, college, hotel, etc without hiring a developer or writing a single line of code. When the employee fills the form and submits it, the creator of the form will get an email to alert the creator that a person has applied for the leave. The creator must log in to his see the list of leave applications.
