How do I follow up with my supervisor about a day off?

Question

I asked my supervisor for a day off next week, but I still have not yet heard from them. What is the proper way to ask if they have approved or denied my personal day. I was completely honest with them on why I needed the day in first place. What should I tell them without becoming a nuisance?

Answer 1

If you just asked yesterday, wait until tomorrow to follow up, or even Monday if the day off would be later in the week.  If you asked a few days ago, it's fair to follow up today.

Just say something like "I'm just checking to find out if my day off next (whatever day) is approved.
