vacation request

Leave of absence

A vacation request is a formal ask for time off from work, typically submitted to a supervisor or HR system for approval.

The term reflects workplace hierarchy—employees don't simply take vacation, they request it: I put in a vacation request for the week of Thanksgiving.

In many companies, vacation requests must be submitted weeks in advance and may be denied based on business needs.
