Can Employers Provide Leave Approval Letters with Specific Reasons? Seeking Advice

savitri duddu
Hi,

Can anyone tell me if an employer can issue a letter to the employee stating the leave approval with reasons specified? I received two typical cases today where one individual needed the letter for an overseas vacation, and another for travel to their native place.

Hello Savitri,

Written leave approval for overseas travel is understandable, but going to home-town? Sounds fishy. Please double-check the reasons before you entertain this person—lest he/she misuses the letter you give in good faith. Even for the person who wants it for overseas travel, you can insist on some proof of such travel (maybe arrangements done so far).
