Ask Work It: What to do when no one covers your work while you’re on leave

Taking leave doesn’t feel like much of a break when no one is helping to cover and the work is waiting for you when you return. Our Work It listener "Jane" sent us this question because she wants to know: how can you arrange for your colleagues to cover you and set expectations with your boss without appearing to shirk your responsibilities?
