About this template
Sometimes the request is for tomorrow: a sick child, a boiler repair, snow, or a train strike. This short form asks one question at a time and takes under a minute on a phone.
The reason is a list of common cases, so nobody has to explain themselves at length. Online hours and a note about meetings tell the manager what changes, and the manager's email sends it to the right person.
For a regular pattern of home days, use the work from home request template instead. Add a manager reply through the responses page so the employee knows it was approved.
Templates are a starting point, not legal or professional advice. Where a form carries consent, medical, or contractual wording, have somebody qualified review it against the rules that apply to you before you publish.
