time off requests
Vacation day petitions
Time off requests are formal or informal appeals to an employer for permission to be absent from work.
The phrase is standard in workplace contexts, covering vacation days, sick leave, personal time, or other approved absences: Submit your time off requests at least two weeks in advance.
The request implies the employer retains authority to approve or deny.
