Medical Condition and Duration
Clearly state your illness without oversharing personal details (e.g., "suffering from viral fever"). Specify exact dates of absence and whether you've consulted a doctor. Mention if it's contagious to help workplace safety decisions. Provide a doctor's certificate if required by company policy or for extended leave periods.
Work Arrangements
Outline how your responsibilities will be managed - suggest colleagues who can cover or tasks you'll complete upon return. Mention your availability for urgent matters if possible. For longer absences, propose a transition plan. This shows professionalism and minimizes workflow disruption during your recovery period.
Contact Information
Provide your current contact details and preferred method of communication. Mention if you'll be periodically checking emails or completely offline. Include emergency contact information if required by HR policies. This ensures the office can reach you if absolutely necessary while respecting your recovery time.
