Leave of Absence

What is Manage LOA?

Manage LOA shows your Leave of Absence status for the server you’re moderating. Use it to check an active or pending LOA, or to request time away.

Click Manage LOA in the Toolbox. The overview shows:

Section	What it shows
Active LOA	Your current or upcoming LOA and when it ends
Pending LOA	A request waiting for review and when you submitted it
Recent LOAs	Your last 3 ended, denied, or cancelled LOAs

Click View full LOA page to request or manage an LOA.

Open the LOA page

Click View full LOA page, or select Manage LOA from the ⋮ menu next to your name.

Fill in the request

Enter a Reason, choose whether it starts on approval or on a future date, then pick an End Date.

Submit

Click Submit request. Your server’s management will review it.

Your server may require a reason or end date, and may set a minimum and maximum length.

Once your LOA is approved, the LOA page lets you:

Option	What it does
Start LOA now	Start an approved future LOA early
Edit reason	Change your LOA’s reason
Request extension	Ask for a later end date
End LOA	End your LOA early
Cancel request	Withdraw a pending request

If your server turns on Disallow Shifts on Leave of Absence, you can’t start shifts while your LOA is active.
