IMPORTANT NOTES:
Requesting for time off/leave is part of maintaining Professional Conduct under Reliability. Unscheduled absences or short notice time offs greatly affect it. While the client may say that “it is okay” in cases of attendance concerns, it is not a license for us to behave like so, especially for items under reliability.
Filing leave can avoid the tagging of Missing in Action (MIA).
