## /loa request

This is how you can request an LOA. When asking one, you must put the time you will be gone and a reason.

***

You will use the /loa request command when you need a loa. You need a certain amount of time and reason to do so. The request is then sent to our high-ranking team to review, accept, or deny.



An example of an LOA command can be **/loa request 5d Family vacation.**

When entering an amount of time, you must use the **letter of time** you need. If you need three days, then you put 3d. If you need one week, you put 7d. It must be in days and nothing else.&#x20;

If you don't have a valid reason, your LOA will be denied.&#x20;



If you ask for a more extended LOA period, depending on your current rank, your LOA may be denied. The higher rank you are, the more LOA you will be allowed. Our SHR team makes exceptions in certain situations.&#x20;
