I’m Sick

Everyone gets sick once in a while, if you are too sick and not able to stand, you can do nothing about it. Just send an email or call the HR and tell him that you are sick.
Your HR understands your problem and gives you the leave because health matters a lot. If you are healthy, you work in a productive manner.

Got an injury

You can do work from home till you are ready to work. Tell to the HR about the injury as soon as possible.

Emergency

An emergency does not come, it’s natural and unexpected. An emergency could be characterized as a family emergency or a home emergency. A family emergency could be a car accident, unexpected surgery, and the death of a loved one or any other.
A home emergency could be a fire, pipe burst, or any other matter. The HR can understand the seriousness of the problem and you require a different amount of time off. You don’t make up a fake emergency.

Celebrating a religious holiday

For some religions, organizations do not provide the holiday. If you ask for the holiday to the HR, ask in the advance and dedicate the time, energy and emotion that the day deserves.

Car trouble

Medical appointment

During work hours, doctors scheduling appointments to go see them might interfere with work. If possible then change the time or schedule for the lunch, but if you can’t and need to schedule during the work, tell this to the HR, this is a legitimate reason.

It’s your birthday

Birthday comes once in a year and for that celebration you go with your family and friends to enjoy it. You call your HR and tell them that it’s your birthday and you are taking a leave. Requesting your HR for the work off on the birthday is bulletproof.

There’s a bereavement

Bad weather

If the weather is not good or it’s too rainy outside then you can take a leave from the work. Rain is a valid reason to take off, but not in winter or summer.

Changing the house
