    How to write an excuse letter for your absence


    When addressing your supervisor, be concise in informing your boss of why you're
    missing work. Here are tips to use when writing a good absence excuse letter:

    1. Ensure the reason is legitimate

    There are several reasons that you may need to be absent from work unexpectedly,
    including:

     Illness
     Family emergency
     Bereavement
     Home emergency
     Child care emergency

    There may also be times when you have planned excused absences. Examples
    include:

     Offering assistance to family members


     Celebrating a religious holiday
     Going to a doctor's appointment
     Going on vacation
     Taking a personal day

    2. Refer to your employee's guidelines

    Every company has clear processes and excusable absences. Check the employee
    handbook to confirm the procedures before drafting your letter. The organization
    typically indicates when a letter is necessary, what it should contain and who should
    receive it.

    3. Notify your team

    Consult your teammates before writing the letter to ensure you can get coverage for
    your tasks while you're away. This ensures that your work won't stop and demonstrates
    responsibility and professional accountability. It's recommended that you plan who may
    handle your workload—and how—while you're out to ensure the team can still meet
    deadlines and the workflow is uninterrupted.

    4. Be professional

    Refrain from sharing every detail of your activities when off-duty. Keep the details
    concise since a manager may refer to your letter in the event of future
    absences. Include only relevant points that are relevant help you maintain a
    professional reputation at work.

    5. Request to work remotely


    If you can't physically come to work, consider requesting to work from home instead of
    taking time off. Doing so may allow you to save your allotted time off. Your supervisor
    and teammates may appreciate your flexibility and willingness to help in whatever way
    possible.

    6. Be accessible

    If possible, it may be helpful to you and your teammates to be accessible while you're
    absent. For example, you may be available to answer questions or review work in a
    certain timeframe. Providing your email address, phone number and general hours to
    respond can help the team handle urgent tasks and promote an uninterrupted workflow.

    7. Write your letter promptly

    By submitting your absence letter as soon as possible, you give the company time to
    reorganize the schedule and make the necessary adjustments during and after your
    absence. Time to plan may help the workflow continue and account for your absence.
    As soon as you know you cannot go to work, or learn of an event that may cause your
    absence, try to inform your supervisor.

    8. Be honest

    Always be truthful when giving excuses for missing work. Talk to your manager if you
    need a vacation or a personal day. Share any point that you think is keeping you off-
    track without compromising on professionalism.
