Subject: Request for Extension on Leave of Absence in Alabama — Sample Letter Dear [Supervisor/Manager's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally request an extension on my existing leave of absence in compliance with the policies and procedures of the state of Alabama. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I am unable to return to work on the originally agreed-upon date. As you may recall, I initially applied for a [Medical/Personal/Parental/other specific leave category] leave of absence, which commenced on [start date]. My current leave period was scheduled to end on [original end date]; however, I am still dealing with circumstances that prevent me from resuming my duties at this time. I would like to kindly request an extension of [number of days/weeks for the extension] to my leave of absence. This additional time will allow me to fully recover, resolve my personal matters, and ensure I can return to work with complete dedication and focused attention. I have diligently updated my progress with the human resources department throughout my leave, and I am eager to provide any necessary documentation to support this extension request. Upon reviewing the Alabama Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) guidelines and the company's leave policies, I believe I am eligible to request this extension. I understand that the extension of my leave would be without pay, unless otherwise stated by the company or authorized by Alabama state law. During my leave, I have been actively seeking alternative solutions to assist in maintaining the continuity of my workload. I understand the impact of my absence on the team, and I am committed to minimizing any inconveniences caused by my extended leave. If necessary, I am willing to discuss potential options such as job sharing, remote work, or delegation of my responsibilities to another team member to ensure a smooth workflow. I highly value my role within the organization and I would appreciate any assistance or guidance in the handling of my request. If there are any forms, documents, or any further steps required of me to properly request an extension, please let me know at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your understanding and support in this matter. I am eager to return to my duties as soon as possible, but the unforeseen circumstances necessitate additional time. I remain committed to maintaining open communication and will keep you informed of any changes to my situation. Looking forward to your positive response. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Employee ID] [Your Contact Information]
