9 Sick PTO Email Templates

 

Navigating the complexities of illness while also managing professional responsibilities can be a challenging and stressful experience. When you’re not feeling well, the last thing you want to worry about is crafting the perfect email to notify your employer of your situation. It’s important to communicate clearly, efficiently, and proactively about your need for sick leave, but doing so in a way that is respectful to all parties involved is equally crucial.

To help ease this process, the following email templates have been designed with both clarity and sensitivity in mind. Each template aims to strike a balance between providing essential information and respecting the time and understanding of your employer. These templates are not just tools for communication; they are also a way to uphold your professional responsibilities while prioritizing your well-being.

Importantly, the templates focus on ensuring that you will not be available during the period of your sick leave. This is especially useful for those facing conditions that require full rest, free from the interruptions and obligations of work. Being explicit about this unavailability from the outset sets clear expectations, allowing your team and manager to plan accordingly without the ambiguity that sometimes leads to work being forwarded to you during your leave.

Feel free to adjust the templates to align with your specific needs and to adhere to any specific guidelines or protocols your company may have regarding sick leave.

Wishing you a quick recovery from the ClockIt team.

 

Template 1

 

Subject: Request for Sick Leave for [Dates]

Dear [Supervisor’s Name],

I hope this email finds you well. Unfortunately, I am not feeling well and my doctor has advised me to take some time off to recover. Therefore, I am writing to formally request sick leave starting from [start date] to [end date].

According to the medical advice I’ve received, I am not fit to work during this period, and it would be best for me to rest and recover so that I can return to work in full health. I have attached the medical certificate and any additional documents you may require for your records and to process my sick leave.

I will ensure that all my current projects are well-documented and accessible to team members to ensure a smooth workflow in my absence. If possible, I am open to working remotely during my period of recovery if my health permits and if it doesn’t hinder the recovery process.

Please let me know if there are any additional forms or procedures I need to complete to have my sick leave approved. I am more than willing to discuss this further if necessary.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your understanding and speedy approval of my sick leave request.
