Note to Readers: This article aims to provide guidance and examples for drafting a sick leave application due to work-related injuries, tailored specifically for international students who might be working part-time or interning while studying abroad. Please remember that specific requirements can vary based on your institution's policies and local laws.

Introduction

Welcome, fellow international students! Today, we're diving into a topic that none of us hopes to encounter but is essential to know about: how to write an effective 工伤假 (gōngshāng jià) or work injury leave application. Whether you're working part-time, doing an internship, or involved in any kind of employment while studying abroad, it’s crucial to know how to properly request time off in case of a work-related injury. Let’s make sure you’re prepared just in case!

Understanding Your Rights as an International Student Worker

Before we dive into the specifics of writing the application, it’s important to understand your rights as an international student worker. In most countries, including the United States, Canada, and Australia, there are specific laws and regulations that protect workers from workplace injuries. These laws ensure that employees receive appropriate medical treatment, compensation, and time off to recover. Make sure you familiarize yourself with these rights and the procedures outlined by your employer or university. This knowledge will empower you to take the necessary steps if you ever need to.

Step-by-Step Guide to Writing Your Application

Now that you have a basic understanding of your rights, let’s break down the process of writing your application:

1. Start with a Formal Salutation

Begin your letter with a formal salutation, such as “Dear [Supervisor’s Name],” or “To Whom It May Concern,” if you do not know the name of the person who will be reading your application. This sets a professional tone right from the start.

2. Clearly State Your Purpose

In the opening paragraph, clearly state the purpose of your letter. For example:

Dear Mr./Ms. [Last Name],
I am writing to formally request a period of leave due to a work-related injury sustained on [date of injury].

3. Provide Details About the Injury

Include a detailed description of the injury, when and where it occurred, and any immediate actions taken. Be honest and concise, but thorough enough to give a clear picture of the situation. Here’s an example:

On [date], while performing my duties at [workplace name], I suffered an injury to my [specific body part] due to [briefly describe what happened]. I immediately reported the incident to [supervisor’s name] and received initial medical attention at [hospital/clinic name].

4. Mention Medical Documentation

Let your employer know that you will provide any necessary medical documentation to support your claim. This could include doctor’s notes, hospital records, or other relevant information. Example:

I will provide all necessary medical documentation, including a doctor’s note and any relevant reports, to support my request for leave.

5. Specify the Duration of Your Leave

Clearly state the duration of your requested leave. If you are unsure about the exact dates, indicate that you will provide updates as more information becomes available. Here’s an example:

Based on the advice of my healthcare provider, I am requesting a leave of absence from [start date] to [end date] to allow for proper recovery and rehabilitation.

6. Offer to Assist with Work Transition

Show your commitment to minimizing disruption by offering to assist with the transition of your responsibilities. This demonstrates professionalism and consideration for your team. Example:

I am willing to assist with the transition of my duties to another colleague or provide any necessary training before my leave begins. Additionally, I will be available via email during my absence should any questions arise.

7. Express Gratitude and Close Politely

End your letter with a note of gratitude for their understanding and cooperation. Use a formal closing such as “Sincerely,” followed by your full name. Example:

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. I look forward to returning to work fully recovered.
Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
[Your Contact Information]
