An Application Letter For Sick Leave is a formal document used in Malta to request and document time off work due to illness or medical conditions. This document is essential in Maltese workplace administration, being required under the Employment and Industrial Relations Act and related regulations. The letter must be submitted when an employee needs to take sick leave, whether for short-term illness or longer-term medical conditions. It typically accompanies a medical certificate and includes specific information about the leave period, basic medical justification, and contact details. The format and content must comply with Maltese data protection laws regarding the handling of personal medical information, while providing employers with sufficient information to process the leave request. This document is particularly important as it helps maintain clear records for both statutory sick pay calculations and employee attendance tracking.
