# Leave Of Absence

Leave of absences are not intended for **misuse**. Please request a LOA only when genuinely needed. We allow a maximum of **three** leave of absences **per** month, so we encourage you to exercise discretion in their use. On occasion, LOAs may be labeled as 'Personal reasons' or may pertain to personal matters. We request a specific reason to maintain accurate records in our database. Please note that leave of absences are **confidential** and not shared outside the HR team.

* You may submit a leave of absence request for a **maximum** duration of 14 days. If you require an extended leave, we recommend considering retirement from your current position.
* You **may** submit a leave of absence request only if your expected offline duration exceeds three days. Absences of less than three days do not necessitate a formal leave request.
