Using open-ended leave requests allows employees to request leave without specifying an end date. This relieves the burden of having to anticipate when they will need to return, while still allowing businesses to manage their staffing levels.
It also provides more flexibility and freedom for employees to take leave as and when they need it and can be especially useful for employees with caring responsibilities or those who need to take leave for an extended period of time.
