Employee Time-Off Request
HR
Request PTO or leave with dates, type, and coverage notes.
PTO requests that live in chat get lost. This template gives managers dates, a leave type, and a coverage note in one submission they can approve or bounce.
Who it is for
Ops and people teams at companies that are not ready for a full HRIS leave module.
When to use it
Use it for vacation, sick time, and unpaid leave. Use Shift Swap Request when two people are trading hours, and Remote Work Request for location changes that are not time off.
What this form collects
Employee name, work email, manager email, leave type, start and end dates, and an optional coverage plan.
- Small-company PTO inbox
- Retail or restaurant time-off queue
- Contractor blackout-date requests

Frequently asked questions
Does this check remaining PTO balance?
No. GRTforms stores the request. Your HRIS or spreadsheet remains the system of record for balances.
Why collect the manager email on the form?
Notification routing can use the submitted address after you clone the form. It also gives the people team a clear owner when the requester forgets to Slack anyone.
Can employees attach a doctor’s note?
Add a file field in the builder, or ask Customize with AI to include an optional note upload on the sick-leave path.
