Centralized Leave Tracking

The Day Off App provides a comprehensive dashboard where both HR professionals and employees can access real-time information about leave balances, including vacation, sick days, and other time-off types. This transparency minimizes miscommunication and ensures everyone is informed and aligned.

Unlimited Scalability

Whether you’re managing a small team or a large organization, the Day Off App allows you to add an unlimited number of employees. This scalability ensures that as your company grows, your leave management system remains seamless and effective.

Customizable Leave Policies

Adapt the platform to fit your company’s unique leave structure. You can define and apply custom leave types (e.g., sick, annual, paternity/maternity, unpaid) and policies that align with your internal rules or legal requirements. This flexibility supports compliance while accommodating diverse workforce needs.

Seamless Integration with Daily Tools

The app integrates effortlessly with essential workplace tools such as Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. This ensures that leave schedules are reflected in team calendars, helping managers and team members plan more effectively around absences.

Automated Accruals and Carryovers

Say goodbye to manual calculations. The Day Off App handles accruals and carryovers automatically, applying them according to your defined policies. This automation reduces errors and administrative burden, making HR processes more efficient.

Public Holiday Management

Avoid scheduling conflicts by importing public holidays relevant to your country or region. This feature ensures that holidays are factored into leave calculations and availability without manual input.

To ensure your RTW letter meets both professional and administrative standards, be sure to include the following elements:

Employee Information

Include your:

• Full Name: As used in official employment records.

• Job Title or Department: Helps identify your role within the company.

• Contact Details: Phone number and professional email address so HR or your supervisor can reach you quickly if needed.

This section establishes your identity clearly and makes follow-up communication easy.

Employer Information

Include:

• Company Name: Full legal name of your employer.

• Department or Unit (if applicable): Especially helpful in large organizations.

• Manager or HR Contact Name and Title: Directing the letter to the correct person ensures it’s reviewed without delay.

Accurately addressing your letter shows that you’re organized and respectful of internal communication channels.

Date of Writing

Indicate the date you are writing and submitting the letter. This is important for:

• Legal documentation

• HR recordkeeping

• Clarifying timelines, especially if your return date is close

Including the writing date helps distinguish between when the letter was submitted and when your return is scheduled.

Formal Salutation

Use a standard business greeting such as:

• “Dear [Manager’s Name],” or

• “Dear [HR Manager’s Name],”

This sets the tone for a respectful and professional message. Always address your letter to a specific person rather than using generic greetings like “To Whom It May Concern.”

Intent to Return

Open your letter by clearly stating:

• That your leave was approved

• That you are now prepared and willing to return

• The specific date you plan to resume work

Example:
“I am writing to formally inform you of my intention to return to work on Monday, August 5th, 2025, following my approved medical leave which commenced on March 10th.”

This removes any ambiguity and makes your status clear.

Details of Leave

Briefly summarize the reason for your leave without divulging overly personal or sensitive information.

Example:
“My leave was taken to address a temporary medical condition, for which I have now fully recovered under my healthcare provider’s supervision.”

This gives context to your absence while maintaining privacy and professionalism.

Return Date

State your intended return date explicitly.

Example:
“I am pleased to confirm that I will return to the office on Monday, August 5th, 2025.”

This allows HR and your team to plan for your reintegration—rescheduling meetings, reassigning tasks, or preparing briefings.

Medical Clearance (If Applicable)

If your absence was due to illness or injury, include a statement confirming that you are medically cleared to return.

Example:
“My physician has reviewed my condition and has provided full clearance for me to resume my regular job duties without restrictions.”

If accommodations are required, mention them here in a clear and respectful manner:
“My doctor has recommended the following accommodations for the first four weeks of my return: [brief list]. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss these with you further.”

This promotes workplace safety and legal compliance.

Request for a Meeting (Optional)

If you believe a meeting would help your transition back to work, express your willingness to schedule one.

Example:
“I would be happy to meet prior to my return to discuss any updates to my role or team, and to ensure a smooth reintegration process.”

This demonstrates initiative and responsibility and provides an opportunity to clarify expectations.

Acknowledgment of Policies

Reconfirm your understanding of, and commitment to, the company’s policies—especially those related to returning from leave.

Example:
“I have reviewed the company’s return-to-work procedures and am committed to following them to ensure a successful transition.”

This reiterates your accountability and builds trust with your employer.

Closing and Signature

Conclude your letter respectfully with a formal sign-off:

• “Sincerely,”

• “Kind regards,”

Then include your:

• Full Name

• Signature (for physical copies)

• Typed Name (for emails or digital submissions)

This final touch underscores professionalism and ensures the letter is formally complete.
