Archived Educational LOA

Has anyone ever heard of a team lead taking an educational LOA for a semester? Wondering if this is allowed for team leads, like it is for Team Members.

Yes, you can.

Yup we have a tl who takes it every other summer. They teach some kind of summer something or other in another country.

Yes, we use to have a Sr.TL who was close to graduating college and the last couple semesters only worked during the summer. Typically with LOA’s if you have good leadership all should go well

How did they handle the scheduling? One of our biggest problems is getting an influx of open availability TMs that are only available for 2 or 3 months that were carry forward. If they are scheduled based on that short time open availability then hours suck for the year round TMs and every year we have solid year round TMs leave at the same time that the LOA people go back to school because the year round people need to maintain a minimum income so suddenly we're understaffed and HR always seems caught off guard. This has gone on for at least 4 years.

It takes 30 days to submit a loa in the system. Hr needs to keep up.
