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. There may be times where we allow for you to play the server and these are done on a case by case basis. To take LOA all you have to do is fill out the LOA Form attached to the bottom of the policy, and inform the relevant head of that division or department. (for example; if you’re a Police Constable but are in no divisions or departments you will speak to a Sergeant of ERT. If you are a firearms officer in AFO, you will inform a Sergeant of AFO).
How long can you take LOA for?
Although you dont have to advise the command (division/department heads) with a reason as to why you are going on LOA (for example: Personal Reasons), it is nice to keep them up to date. LOA is authorised for a 2 week period at a time, maximum of two occasions in a three month period (special rules app). LOA means a break from PoliceMP, meaning you will not be on the server. These rules will be policed strictly by Crusade and Senior Management.
Who can I tell to be put on LOA?
You must inform all division/department heads that you are on LOA and you must inform them of updates bi-weekly. This will make sure you are not subject to division requirements and you cannot lose your roles. Abuse of the LOA Policy will result in the role being removed without notice and potential removal from divisions.
What happens if I don’t give bi-weekly updates?
If you don't give bi-weekly updates, someone from the band 2/3 will be in touch to get an update. If you do not respond within 1 week, you will be messaged by Crusade, and you will also become eligible for role removal from your divisions/departments that you hold.
What if I get removed for not updating anyone?
If in the events you get removed from your divisions, you have the option to appeal. All appeals will go to Crusade/SM. Failing you are unsuccessful with your appeal, you can always apply to become a Police Constable. Due to server changes and development, you will be put through the training again.
Where is the LOA form for me to fill out?
Below is the link to the LOA form for PC+. Anyone can use this form to acquire the LOA tag, but you must inform your division/department heads about your LOA. Failure to do so will result in your LOA being void and eligible for role removal
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 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.
Leave of Absence should be submitted via the LOA form.
