How Do I Politely Ask an Employee to Work from Home on a Holiday? Seeking HR Advice

Hi team,

Please help me write an email to an employee asking them to work from home on holiday as they are lagging behind in their work. The email should be polite.

I need to send this to a couple of HR colleagues. Can anyone please help out?

Thanks,
Soni

Further to your above query, you may write a polite email by saying:

Sample Email to Request Work During Holidays

Dear [Employee Name],

We need your help to complete a few tasks during the forthcoming holidays. We understand it's a festive time, and everyone would like to spend time with their family and friends. However, we have some urgency to complete these tasks (you may attach the task report that needs to be covered), and management is seeking your contribution for the same.

We hope you will take a step ahead and understand that we need you at this time. We are sure you will be able to cover the given tasks.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks!

I guess the above email will work for you.
