When an employee seeks a temporary break from their organization due to some personal reasons, they write a leave application letter or letter of absence to the concerned authority. This not only shows professionalism on the employee’s part but also gives adequate time to the employer to prepare.

If you have important personal work and thus unable to go to the office, these samples below will help you write a leave application for casual leave.
