Members request leave from the department, and managers with the Loa Manager permission approve or deny it. Approved LOAs end on their own when the end date passes.
Requesting an LOA
- Open the LOA Page
On the department Home page, open the menu on your profile card and choose Manage LOA. You can also use a request link shared by your department.
- Fill in the Form
Enter a reason, choose whether it starts on approval or on a future date and pick an end date.
- Submit
Click Submit Request and wait for a manager to review it.
From the same page you can cancel a request, update your reason or ask for an extension. See Manage LOA for the full member guide.
Reviewing LOAs
Expand an LOA to see the member's reason and a timeline of everything that's happened. From there you can:
- Approve or Deny a request, with an optional reason the member can see.
- Accept or Deny an extension request. These show a pending request badge.
- End leave of absence early. This can't be undone.
You can only act on LOAs of members ranked below you.
