Application: templates and forms

A notice cannot be withdrawn unilaterally — once it has been given, withdrawing it needs the employer's agreement. That is why this document is an application rather than a notification, and why it should be filed as early in the notice period as possible. It identifies the notice by date and asks expressly for written confirmation that the employment continues.

For moving to part-time hours, for a different start and finish, or for a flexible arrangement. The change affects an essential term of the employment contract, so it is put into effect by a written amendment — and part-time hours reduce pay proportionately. The application proposes a specific arrangement and the date it should start.

The way to leave at once, without working a notice period — but only if the employer agrees. The application proposes a date on which the contract is to end. The part almost nobody knows: the employer must answer within seven days, and silence counts as a refusal. Without written consent there is no termination.

Interrupting studies is granted on particular grounds — health, family, work abroad, maternity — and almost always requires a document. What the application asks expressly is which examinations remain outstanding and how they are to be made up, because on returning a student is reinstated into a specific year, not where they remember being.

Remote work is not settled by a spoken arrangement — it is written into an amendment to the employment contract, which fixes the place of work, the working hours and who provides the equipment. This application puts the request in writing and proposes a specific arrangement, rather than leaving everything to be decided afresh the next time management changes.

Unpaid leave is not an entitlement — it is granted by the employer, so the application has to be in writing and has to carry a decision on it. State the exact period and the reason, because whether the time counts towards length of service and insurance depends on how long it is. File it early enough for someone to be able to cover your work.

A reference is not a certificate: it is an assessment of your work, and an employer is not obliged to give one. So the request states which period, for what purpose and in which language you need it — a specific request is answered far more often than a general one.

The bank, the court or the social services office wants a document showing your income, and the employer wants a written request. This form is that request: for which period, for what purpose, in how many copies. Stating the purpose matters — a certificate for a loan and a certificate for social assistance often carry different figures.

A standard application to an employer for paid, unpaid or any other kind of leave, stating the period and the number of working days it covers.

You need it when applying for a loan, in a dispute about a post or about pay, or simply because your own copy is lost. The employer keeps the personnel file and issues certified copies of what is in it. The request lists the documents you are after by name, because a generally worded one usually comes back with a single sheet.

In the admissions ranking for a nursery or kindergarten, working parents prove their employment with a certificate from the employer. It is most often sent back not over its content but over a missing formality. So this request spells out what the certificate must carry: the employer's company number, an outgoing reference number, a date, a signature and a stamp. File it early — the rankings have deadlines, the payroll office does not.

Leave under Art. 164 of the Labour Code is taken after maternity leave and is granted on an application to the employer, while the benefit is paid by the social security institute through a separate procedure. The age limit and the amount of the benefit are set by law and do change — check them for the year you are applying in. The application also states whether the leave is being transferred to the other parent or to a grandparent, which is common.

Where a diploma is lost, destroyed or damaged, a duplicate is issued from the register held by the school or university. The application identifies exactly which diploma is wanted — year of completion, course, registration number if known — because the issuer searches an archive rather than a name. A fee is usually payable and a declaration of the circumstances required.

These certificates are requested from an employer when retiring or when proving length of service: UP-2 shows insurable income, UP-3 the length and category of service. They are two different documents, issued separately, so mark which of them you need. If the employer no longer exists, they are sought from the regional archive rather than from the employer.

Paid leave under Art. 157 of the Labour Code is due on specific occasions — getting married, donating blood, the death of a close relative, attending court. It is separate from annual leave and is not deducted from it. The number of days is set by the Act and may be increased by a collective agreement, which is why it is a field here rather than an assumption.

Changing banks is a small matter until a salary goes to a closed account. This application tells the payroll office what the new account is and from which month it applies. File it before payday rather than after — the transfer is prepared in advance.

Used where an original document has been lost, stolen or destroyed — a diploma, a certificate, an employer's letter. The particulars of the lost document and the reason for the loss are stated.
