I pretty consistently just do “Greetings, I will be out of office from (date) to (date) with (limited/no) access to email. If you need assistance, please contact (boss) at (email address) – otherwise, I will follow up with you upon my return. Thanks!”

We’re here to help.

Q. Are there sample voicemail and out-of-office email messages that we should use?
Here’s one example out in the world, which jumpstarted me thinking about this topic:

Personally, I’d get a kick out of it, but I wouldn’t do something like that myself.
The only thing I add to that boilerplate is if I’m working but mostly unavailable.
You are regarded as a responsible netizen when you imbibe the habit of leaving out-of-office messages. For employers and HR managers, it is worthwhile to teach this practice to your employees. Out-of-office emails show that you are polite and professional, lending credibility to your corporate culture.
