When to use this letter

Use this to formally notify your employer or HR of your return date after a medical, parental, or personal leave — and to flag any temporary accommodations.

What to include

  • Your exact return date and the role/duties you are resuming
  • Whether you are cleared for full duties or need temporary accommodations (with an end date)
  • A reference to any handover or coverage during your absence
  • An offer to provide documentation (e.g. a fitness-for-work note) if required

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Being vague about the return date or your availability
  • Over-explaining the medical details — keep it brief and professional
  • Forgetting to mention accommodations you actually need on day one
