How to file stress leave at work
Review your benefits handbook.
Before you request personal or sick leave, make sure you understand your employer's policy and how leave is handled. If you've never requested time off before, talk to one of your coworkers to find out what you need to do.
You should also understand your employer's expectations, which may not be stated outright in the handbook. You can also talk to coworkers to get a sense of your boss's attitude regarding time-off requests.
