Time-Off Request
Let employees request holiday and leave in one place.
Overview
The Time-Off Request template gives your team a single, consistent way to ask for holiday and leave. Employees select the type of leave, choose their start and end dates, and explain how their work will be covered while they are away. Every request lands in your responses dashboard, so managers can see who has requested time off and approve it without long email chains or lost messages.
The form is quick to adapt in the NodumForms drag-and-drop builder. Use a dropdown for leave type such as annual leave, sick leave or unpaid leave, short text fields for the requested dates, and a long text field for cover arrangements and handover notes. Add the employee's name and team so requests are easy to identify, and apply your company branding through the Styles panel. You can reorder questions and add your own fields, for example a manager name or a checkbox to confirm the request has been discussed in advance.
Once published, share the form by link in your intranet or staff handbook, or embed it on an internal page so employees can request leave whenever they need to. The Table view gives managers a clear overview of all upcoming requests, while the Summary view helps spot busy periods and overlapping dates at a glance. Open a single request in the Individual view to read the full details and handover notes, then export to CSV to keep a tidy record alongside your HR or rota system. The live response count shows new requests as soon as they arrive, so nothing slips through unnoticed.

Manage holiday requests without the email chaos

An employee planning a holiday opens the form, selects annual leave, picks their dates and notes who will cover their tasks. The manager reviews it in the dashboard, checks for clashes with other requests in the Table view, and keeps an exported record for the team rota.
