Urdu Script (درخواست برائے رخصت): Urdu is the national language of Pakistan and is extensively used in government offices, educational institutions, and traditional business environments. Formal Urdu letters typically address the authority as "بخدمت جناب پرنسپل صاحب" (To, The Principal) or "بخدمت جناب مینیجر صاحب" (To, The Manager). The body politely opens with "مؤدبانہ گزارش ہے کہ..." and closes with "العارض" or "آپ کا تابعدار".
Roman Urdu (SMS Format): In the modern corporate sector, many employees prefer to send a quick WhatsApp message to their manager using Roman Urdu. LeaveDraft includes a dedicated "Roman" translation engine that generates professional text like "Guzarish hai ke mujhe ghar par ek zaroori kaam par gaya hai..." which is perfect for copying directly into WhatsApp.
Corporate & Office Leave: In the private sector and multinational companies, English is standard. Leave entitlements are largely guided by the West Pakistan Shops and Establishments Ordinance 1969 and the Factories Act 1934. Employees are generally entitled to:
• Casual Leave (CL): Typically 10 to 15 days per year with full pay, intended for sudden personal emergencies.
• Sick Leave: Usually 8 to 16 days per year. Most employers require a medical certificate from a registered practitioner if the leave extends beyond 2-3 consecutive days.
• Earned Leave / Annual Leave: Generally 14 consecutive days after 12 months of continuous service. Often requires advance approval and a proper handover plan.
Ex-Pakistan Leave: Government and semi-government employees traveling abroad for Umrah, Hajj, or personal reasons must apply for a specific "Ex-Pakistan Leave." This requires addressing the Competent Authority and stating the exact dates of departure and return. You can generate this specifically using our "Government" tab.
