Leave rules at own expense

In order to take unpaid leave,The employee must write to the head of the organization an application in an arbitrary form. In it, you need to specify the type of leave - without pay or additional, - the reasons for the leave and its duration. If there are any documents that confirm the reasons for the leave, they need to be attached to the application.

Most often as a reason indicate "familycircumstances ", under them you can hide everything. Of course, you can tell the boss that you just want to take a break from your duties and lie around at home on a sofa with a newspaper, or that you want to pay attention to yourself - to go shopping, tanning salons and beauty salons ... But whether the management will appreciate your sincerity is a moot point.

Based on the application and will (or will not)an order has been issued to satisfy your request. Until the head of the organization takes a positive decision to grant you leave, you can not take it. According to the law, you can not give your superiors leave for more than fifteen days. You can not use immediately the maximum period, and take several days during the year. For example, take three days, then seven, then one and, if necessary, four more. The main thing is that the duration of the "voluntary refusal from work" does not exceed the time allowed by law.

In principle, if the reasons given by you in the statement are not too convincing for the leadership, it may not give the go-ahead for your vacation. But there are provisions that oblige the authorities to do this.
