How to ask for leave is appropriate?

First, don't call if you can ask for leave in person, and don't send WeChat if you can call for leave.

In my long-term management practice, I found that many people chose the last way to ask for leave: sending WeChat. This method is actually the worst choice, and its disadvantages are as follows:

First, the leader may not see the information you sent, or he may not see it at the first time, which may delay his approval of your application for leave, which is very unfavorable to the person who asks for leave.

Second, leaders need to ask questions on WeChat, which is a great waste of leadership time, because some questions may not be clearly expressed in a few words on WeChat.

Third, the leader may not reply at all. At this time, if you don't know whether he approves or not, you will be in a passive position. If you take a vacation because of this, it will be considered as acting first; If you dare not take a vacation because of this, you will lose the opportunity to take a vacation.

Two, the general leave (except for emergencies) must be submitted for approval more than one day in advance, not late at night or early in the morning.

When I was a department manager, I often received leave notes from employees after seven or eight in the morning, saying that I would not come to work that day. This kind of leave is "insincere" and also reflects the lack of professionalism of employees themselves.

Those who call for leave after work are generally the types who can't get up in the morning and simply don't come to work. Such employees are lazy and easy to leave a bad impression.

Asking for leave one day in advance is regarded as the ability to arrange time reasonably, which is also a sign of respecting the leader.

Third, the reasons for taking time off must be logical.

Last night, an employee asked for leave in the middle of the night 10, saying that he would "pay a New Year call" today and take a day off. Obviously, the midnight 10 decision to visit relatives' home the next day is not very convincing. In fact, if he can find the manager to ask for leave before leaving work yesterday, the reason, whether it is a New Year greeting, a blind date or a classmate's marriage, will not be suspected.

You'd better tell your superiors the reasons for asking for leave truthfully. If personal privacy is involved, you can be tactful, but there is no need to make up reasons. You can even see a person's integrity and sense of responsibility from the reasons for asking for leave.

Fourth, you must "return to the team" on time after the vacation.

I once had a subordinate who asked for leave many times and didn't return to the company at the appointed time. For example, take three days off for the first time, take two days off on the third day, and then add one day-at least if you don't give a suitable reason, it's very bad.

To make matters worse, after the holiday, I didn't return to the team on time and didn't report for duty, just like the world disappeared. Such behavior not only disturbs the normal production order, but also brings unnecessary worries to colleagues, because your failure to appear in the company on time will make people worry about your personal safety.

The above four items are about the correct way to open the leave.
