Hi Hanu,

Are you back on duty after this leave? What was the response from your HoD about your 'unauthorized leave'?

First of all, let me know what you mean by saying 'unauthorized leave.' Do you mean to say either i) applied for leave but 'not approved' or ii) didn't go to work simply without any intimation to your HoD or time office? or iii) don't have leave balance, hence could not seek approved leave or iv) any other reason. All these might result in 'Loss of pay' and/or 'absence.' And you didn't mention how many days you availed of like this. Is it the first time this has happened? If it is the first time, there is a chance of obtaining a pardon.

Whatever the reason could be, the long and short of the story is 'you did not attend to duty as there was no approved leave.'

The fact is you cannot undo the mistake, and therefore, reconciling to the situation is warranted.

So, I suggest you meet your HoD or reporting officer or any other authorized person who is supposed to sanction your leave. DON'T WAIT TILL THEY CALL YOU. YOU GO FIRST AND MEET THEM. Explain the circumstances orally, as to why you could not obtain prior approval and the urgency involved forcing you to abstain from work on these days of your absence and apologize for your mistake. If they pardon you for this, well and good. If they further insist on a written letter of apology, write it and give it then and there; it might solve your problem. Don't worry, you created the problem, you can only solve it.
