Questions

Does submitting the form mean the leave is approved?

No. The manager decision section records whether the request was approved, declined or needs changes.

Can I request part of a day?

Yes. Enter the date and the number of hours in the partial-day field.

Does the template calculate totals automatically?

No. It contains no JavaScript, so it works consistently in browsers, desktop readers and phone apps.

Can I print it on A4 paper?

Yes. It uses a US Letter page with A4-safe margins, so it prints cleanly on either paper size.
