Leave of Absence
Introduction
LOA stands for Leave of Absence. If you take LOA from PoliceMP, it will mean that you are no longer eligible to be removed from a division/department due to your absence on the server. LOA also means you cannot be on the server and using it as a method to deviate from division requirements. In order to be on LOA you must obtain the LOA tag, you can do this by filling an LOA form which can be found using the /loalink command in discord (or the link below). Once you have completed and submitted the form, it will be passed over to the Senior Moderation Team for review, you will receive updates of your LOA status through DMs. If your LOA is approved, you will be able to access and play the server however you will be restricted to the roles of either PCSO or St Johns.
How long can you take LOA for?
Requests for 2 weeks LOA or less will be automatically approved. LOA requests exceeding 2 weeks (extended LOA) will be reviewed and decided by the Senior Moderation team and for requests over 4 weeks, this will require approval from the Asst. Head Mod+. Extended LOA periods are usually only approved once within a 3-month period, however each case is reviewed on an individual basis and at the Asst. Head Mod+ discretion. LOA means a break from your roles in PoliceMP, this means you have a break from your activity requirements but as mentioned above you can only run as PCSO or St Johns. Whilst on LOA and in the server you should maintain high levels of professionalism and you remain bound to the server rules and moderation policy.
Who can I tell to be put on LOA?
Once your LOA has been approved and you have received the ‘LOA’ role, you must inform the Command Teams you have requirements for, this includes Band 1, 2 and 3 positions. What do I do when my LOA is complete? If you are returning on the last day of your LOA, the role will automatically be removed at 23:59 of the return date. If you are returning from LOA early, you can use the ‘/loaremove’ command within any of our Discord channels.
How does activity work when I take LOA?
When you take LOA, your activity for that month is based on how many days you were not on LOA. For example, if you take LOA on the 15th of the month, you would be subject to half of the monthly requirements. This is to ensure the LOA tag is not taken advantage of, and in the end, used as a way to deviate from any requirements.
What do I do when my LOA is complete?
Once your LOA has completed, please do not forget to use the command /loaremove in discord in order to remove the LOA tag. You will then be able to play again in game with your usual roles.
Where do I request for LOA?
Create a support ticket by typing /support in any channels, select General Support and a ticket will automatically be opened. Proceed to put in details of your LOA in that ticket, when you are leaving and when you will be returning, as well as a reason.
Please be advised, requests for LOA up to 2 weeks are automatically approved. For LOA requests exceeding 2 weeks, these will require approval from the Senior Moderation team and for LOA requests exceeding 4 weeks, this will require approval from the Asst. Head Mod+. All “Reasons for LOA” are confidential and only viewable by the Senior Moderation team & Senior Management.
