Is the employer's approval required for a short travel?

Hi.

Good day,

I just like to ask if I can go out of the country for a vacation, even without the approval of my employer since my vacation is just two days and I will be back as soon as possible.

In my contract, there is nothing saying that I can't travel during my contract. Is it okay, because I really miss my family?

Thanks in advance.

If it is on a weekend or holiday you can go.

But if it involves a working day just inform them that you need to take emergency leave (which will be a leave without pay).

Some employers are generous, they let you adjust the leave with your annual leave.
