An application for sick leave is a document that an employee submits to their employer to request time off from work due to illness or injury. The application should include the employee's name, the dates of the requested leave, and a brief explanation of the reason for the leave. It may also include information about the employee's expected to return to work date, and any relevant medical documentation. The employer will review the application and decide about granting the leave, which may be paid or unpaid, depending on the employer's policies and the employee's contract.
