Subject: Sick Leave Request [Dates of Leave]
Dear [Supervisor’s Name],
I am writing to inform you that I have fallen ill and, upon consultation with a healthcare provider, have been advised to take a period of rest and recovery at home. Regrettably, this means I will be unable to attend work from [Start Date] to [End Date].
To ensure continuity of work in my absence, I have taken the following steps:
-
[Briefly outline any work arrangements you’ve made, such as delegating tasks to colleagues, completing urgent tasks in advance, or setting up an out-of-office email reply.]
-
[Mention any specific projects or responsibilities that require immediate attention and suggest how they might be handled.]
I will ensure to check my emails periodically for any urgent matters and remain reachable via phone for emergencies. However, I anticipate needing this time fully to recover and hence might not be able to respond immediately as usual.
Please let me know if you require any further information or documentation from me for HR purposes or to facilitate this leave request. I am willing to provide a medical certificate if necessary, and I aim to keep you updated on my recovery progress and expected return to work date.
Thank you for your understanding and support during this time. I apologize for any inconvenience my absence may cause and appreciate your and the team's cooperation in managing my responsibilities in my absence.
Best regards,
[Your Name]
[Position]
[Your Contact Number]
