What a time-off request form is for

A time-off request form is how an employee asks for leave in writing: the type of leave, the dates, who covers the work and anything the manager should know. A form makes every request complete and leaves a dated record of each one.

This template fits on one screen in the Slate look. It asks for the employee’s work email and their manager’s email, four leave types, a first and a last day off side by side, and who will cover. Everything is required except the cover and the notes, so a request cannot arrive without dates.

Who uses it

  • Small businesses that track leave without an HR system.
  • Team leads who want every request in one list instead of chat messages.
  • Schools, clinics and shops planning rotas around staff leave.
  • Agencies keeping a record of leave for client planning.

What’s in the template

Every question exactly as the template builds it, page by page. Change, add or remove any of them in the editor.

Form title: “Request time off”. One page. Look: Slate.

How to customise it

A template is a starting point: every word, question and colour stays editable.

  • Your leave types

    Rename the options to your policy, such as study leave or a day in lieu, and add a Number block for the days requested.

  • Route it to the right people

    Add HR or team leads, up to five people, to the email you get on every response, so each request reaches them the moment it is sent.

  • Ask for a note from a doctor

    Add a File upload block and a logic rule that shows it only when the leave type is sick leave.

  • Match your approval process

    Rewrite the thank-you text to say what happens next in your team, and use the review status on each response to track where it stands.

What happens after someone submits

The same Vonza Forms settings run behind every template. These are the ones this form uses.

  1. 01

    The response arrives in Responses

    Each response opens with every answer, the device and the time it took. Export all or some of them to CSV or Excel, or download one as a PDF.

  2. 02

    You and your team are told

    The email to you goes to you and up to five teammates on every response, with all the answers or a message you write, plus an in-app notification.

  3. 03

    The respondent becomes a CRM contact

    Everyone who leaves an email (here, “Work email”) becomes a contact in your Vonza CRM, tagged with up to ten tags you choose. Existing contacts keep their details.

  4. 04

    They get a confirmation

    Turn on the email to the respondent, with your own subject and message, and attach their answers as a PDF.

  5. 05

    Automations and webhooks take over

    Use “Contact fills this form” in Automations to enrol people in a course, start an email sequence or add them to a list, or post each response to Zapier, Make or your own server with a webhook.

Each request lands in Responses with both dates; mark it In progress while you check the rota and Done once it is approved, and export the list to CSV or Excel for payroll.

For other forms your team fills in, read about Vonza internal request and intake forms, or see the Vonza form builder and automations that follow each request.
