Letter for Delegating Responsibilities for Absence from Work

If you are going out for a holiday or you are going on a long leave for some other personal reason then you must delegate your responsibilities or duties for a specific period to someone else who can do the needful in your absence. This is important to make sure that during your absence, the work doesn’t suffer and all the tasks are completed on time. For this writing a delegation letter with all important terms and conditions is very important.

We have come up with a formal letter template for delegating responsibilities to your subordinate while you will be absent from work.

Dear Richard,

This is to inform you that I will be absent from work from 23.06.2025 to 27.03.2017. I have been told by the HR Manager to delegate my responsibilities at work during this time period.

I would like to inform you that you will be required to head the weekly meetings of Marketing Department, held every Friday. During this meeting, you will have to give team their weekly targets to follow. You have to review and prepare the analysis report of daily work report submitted by the team members. You will have my assistant Linda Mathew assist you in everything.

I am taking this leave because I have to undergo a small surgery on 25.06.2025 and this would require me to take good rest post surgery. I would need your cooperation to make sure that there is loss of work because of my absence. You have always been very supportive and helpful and I am sure that you will be able to manage everything. I also assure you the best of help from my end whenever you need it.

In case, you have any issues in carrying out these duties, please feel to seek help from my assistance. You may also get in touch with me any time after 28.06.2025 as I will be discharged by then.

Thanking in anticipation.

Sincerely,

Robert Brown
