Almost every person during his / her labor activity had to write an application for a day off at least once. How to do it right and what is embedded in the meaning of such a term? This must be dealt with.
The concept of time off
According to the law, a person must be at the workplace during specially allotted hours, which are stipulated by the labor agreement (contract) concluded between him and the employer. However, life is a complicated thing. It is impossible to plan for a long time ahead. There are situations that cannot be resolved only in your free time. Some issues can be resolved only by personal presence, and for this it is necessary to be free at any time of the day. In this case, the employee is forced to write a statement for a day off.
What does this term mean? What is the meaning of it? According to the law, leave is an opportunity to be absent from the workplace with the consent of the employer. In fact, it can be considered as an agreement between the parties. True, the employee must inform the management of his intention in advance by writing a statement for a day off. In what situations does he have the right to do so? There may be several options:
- Opportunity to relax if you had to work on your own day off or holiday (article 153 Labor Code of Russia).
- Compensation for work in the interests of the enterprise in excess of the established norm (Article 152 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
- Donation (article 186 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
- On account of annual leave (article 125 Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
- Processing under shift conditions (Article 301 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
- On vacation without pay.
In each of these cases, you must first make a statement for a day off, get the consent of the leadership, and then boldly deal with your problems.
Features of the provision of labor leave
Article 125 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation allows workers to take their annual leave in installments. It is not necessary to complete it in full. But we must not forget that in accordance with the same article, one of these conditional shares should not be less than two weeks (14 days). The rest can be divided arbitrarily and taken by writing an application for a day off on vacation. This is a common practice.
In fact, it turns out that the employee takes a day off for himself, and the basis for it is the leave laid down by law. Moreover, during this period of absence he must be accrued vacation pay. In the report card, this day will also be marked accordingly. All this will be done on the basis of an order, the wording of which should sound the same as the application for leave for vacation. This document is a confirmation that an agreement has been reached between the parties on this issue. But do not forget that the management must be informed in advance about the planned vacation.
Rules for writing a document
Before you ask for an additional day off, you first need to determine the reason, and then choose the appropriate option for this. Only after that you can write a statement for a day off. A sample of such a document is not provided by law, so everything needs to be done arbitrarily.
Such paper consists of the following parts:
- A hat is formed at the top right. It indicates the details of the addressee (usually the head of the enterprise) and the applicant himself.
- Next should be the name of the document. The word "statement" is written in the center with a lowercase letter.
- The main text is placed under it with a red line. In the first five cases outlined above, it begins with a request for an additional day off.The latter will focus on vacations, for which no salary will be charged. It also indicates the specific days selected for the holiday.
- In conclusion, the date of compilation of the document and the personal signature of the employee and its full interpretation are put.
And one must not forget that each application must be endorsed by the immediate supervisor before being submitted for signature to superiors.
Vacation without payment
If the employee does not want to reduce the vacation, which is prescribed to him by law once a year, and there are no other options, then he can ask the management for several days to solve his problems, making a statement for a day off at his own expense. True, in this case, it will most likely be a vacation without payment. As you know, a day off is considered to be a day off, which is provided to a citizen in return for the previously worked time or on account of the fact that he will work later, when he must rest according to the schedule. In any of these cases, working time will be paid to him.
The concept of absence at an enterprise at its own expense looks somewhat different. The essence of the question is clear from the wording itself. Here, the employee expresses a desire that for the time when he will somewhere to solve his problems, he was not accrued salary. Accordingly, there is no need to subsequently work it out.
Therefore, such a request must be expressed in the form of an application for a vacation, not a day off.
It should also be written in the order.
