5 Types of Out-of-Office Messages to Leave Before You Go on Maternity Leave

Here are the 5 types of absence notices to leave before you go on maternity leave:

The classic:
. I am currently on maternity leave until “a future return date.” I will not be able to check your messages until I return, so if you need anything, please contact: “contact information for the person covering for me.”

The joker
—as you’ve probably already guessed over the past few months, my baby bump isn’t the result of overindulging in sweets (though I still love those little chouquettes on Monday mornings!). I’ll be away until “the date you return,” while I enjoy this happy event! So, see you soon! In case of an emergency, you can contact my capable stand-in or my capable team using the contact information below (email or phone)—they’re running the show and have it covered!


I’m currently away due to the imminent arrival of my baby. I’ll be back on “date/period.” For any inquiries, please send a message to “super colleague.” In the meantime, I’m enjoying this lovely break to the fullest and sending you lots of love from my little cocoon. Take care!

Details:
. Due to a happy event, I will be away until (specific date). For follow-up on upcoming cases, please contact “colleague’s contact information,” or if you need information regarding logistics, please send a message to “colleague’s contact information 2.” Non-urgent requests regarding next season will have to wait until I return. See you soon!

Just a quick note to reassure you
: I’ll be away from the office for a few months due to the imminent arrival of a new family member 🐣
I’ll be back soon, and I’m still reachable in case of an extreme emergency. Please bear with me if my new schedule as a new mom doesn’t always allow me to get back to you as quickly as I’d like. If you need a prompt response, please contact my colleague, who will take excellent care of you while I’m on leave.
