What are Leave Reasons?
A leave reason, is simply the explanation or justification an employee provides for taking time off work. It helps HR managers and supervisors to understand why the employee is requesting leave and if there are any additional steps that need to be taken to approve the request.
For example, if an employee requests sick leave due to an injury, the HR manager or supervisor may need to ask for additional documentation such as a doctor’s note to help validate the reason for the leave. This helps ensure that the employee can inform the company of their ability to work and that the company is aware of any potential issues that can impact operations.
