Annual leave request form and petition for Turkey (Word)
The annual leave form is the written request naming the dates an employee wants to take paid annual leave. Employees request leave in writing at least one month ahead (Annual Paid Leave Regulation, Art. 7), and employers must keep a leave record showing every employee's annual leave (Labor Law Art. 56). This Turkish-language Word template carries both the structured form and a petition variant.

İşverene not: İşveren veya izin kurulu, işin gereklerini gözeterek izin tarihini değiştirebilir; işçinin istediği tarihle bağlı değildir (Yıllık Ücretli İzin Yönetmeliği m.8). İşveren, çalışanların yıllık izinlerini gösterir izin kayıt belgesi tutmak zorundadır (İş Kanunu m.56; Yönetmelik m.20) — bu formu özlük dosyasında saklayın (İş Kanunu m.75).

How a leave request works (Regulation Art. 7–8)
The employee notifies the employer in writing at least one month before the intended leave, naming the period and any unpaid travel-leave request (Annual Paid Leave Regulation, Art. 7). Setting the actual dates is the employer's call: the employer or the leave board may schedule a different period in view of business needs and other employees' requests, and is not bound by the requested dates (Regulation Art. 8).
Leave can be split by agreement as long as one part is at least ten days (Labor Law Art. 56). Weekly rest days and public holidays falling inside the leave do not consume the entitlement. An employee spending leave away from the workplace's town is entitled, on request and with documentation, to up to four days of unpaid travel leave for the round trip (Art. 56).
Who keeps the form: the record duty
The employer must keep a leave record document showing employees' annual leave (Labor Law Art. 56, Regulation Art. 20). The approved form is the backing evidence for that record and belongs in the employee's personnel file (Art. 75). Because unused leave is paid out at the final wage when employment ends (Art. 59), a clean leave record protects both sides.
What is in the template
The first part of the Word file is the structured form: identity and role fields, hire date, accrued/used/remaining days, requested dates, the travel-leave checkbox, and signature blocks for the employee and the employer or leave board. The second part is a petition-style variant of the same request for workplaces that prefer free text. Both reference Art. 53 and Regulation Art. 7. The document is in Turkish — the language it must be in to serve as a workplace record in Turkey.
| Entitlement by seniority | 1–5 yrs: 14 days · over 5 and under 15: 20 · 15+: 26 (Art. 53) |
| Request timing | In writing, at least 1 month ahead (Regulation Art. 7) |
| Splitting | By agreement, one part at least 10 days (Art. 56) |
| Travel leave | Up to 4 days unpaid, on request with documentation (Art. 56) |
| Leave record | Employer must keep one (Art. 56, Regulation Art. 20) |
Frequently asked
Legally none — both satisfy the written-request rule of the Annual Paid Leave Regulation (Art. 7). The form is a standardized document with predefined fields and an approval block, while the petition carries the same request as free text. Larger workplaces prefer the form because it feeds the leave record directly.
No. Scheduling is a management right: the employer or leave board may set a different period in view of business needs and other requests (Regulation Art. 8). What is mandatory is that the leave is actually granted — the entitlement itself cannot be waived (Labor Law Art. 53).
The employer pays the leave-period wage in advance, or as an advance payment, before the leave starts (Art. 57). Overtime, premiums and social benefits are excluded from the base: the bare gross wage divided by 30 gives the daily rate, multiplied by the leave days.
No. The entitlement cannot be waived (Art. 53), and when the contract ends for any reason, wages for all unused leave are paid at the final wage (Art. 59). During employment, leave is meant to be used, not cashed out.
