Request a leave of absence

Tell your Hub you'll be off the road for a while, so quiet weeks don't count against your activity.

Exams, holidays, a new job, a broken wheel on your desk chair — life happens. A leave of absence (LOA) tells your Hub you'll be away, so nobody wonders where you went and your activity record stays clean.

Request leave#

1. In your driver panel, click Leave of absence in the sidebar.
2. Click Request leave of absence.
3. Pick your Start date and End date.
4. Choose a Reason from your Hub's list, and add Details if you like.
5. Optionally add a Note for management — anything you want staff to know privately.
6. Click Submit request.

Each Hub sets its own limits — a maximum leave length, how many leaves you can take per year — and two of your leaves can't overlap. If your request bumps into a limit, the form tells you exactly what to change.

What happens next#

Your request lands with your staff team for review. Many Hubs auto-approve short leaves, so your request may be approved the moment you send it.

Your Leave of absence page lists every request with its status:

• Pending — waiting for staff review.
• Approved — you're covered for those dates.
• Denied — staff couldn't approve it; talk to them if you're unsure why.
• Cancelled — you withdrew it.

Changed your plans? Click Cancel on a request to withdraw it — you can submit a new one whenever you like. Once a leave is underway it may no longer be cancellable from your side; ask your staff team instead.

While a leave is active, a banner on your dashboard reminds you (and reassures you) that you're officially off the road.

How leave affects activity requirements#

This is the whole point: days covered by an approved leave are excused from your Hub's activity checks. If your Hub expects, say, regular deliveries or points-earning activity, the days you were on approved leave are subtracted before anyone evaluates you — an approved absence is never inactivity.

Two small notes:

• Only approved leave excuses you — a pending request doesn't, so send it before you go, with a little notice.
• If you don't see the Request leave of absence button, leave requests aren't included in your Hub's current plan; your existing requests stay visible, and your Hub owner can upgrade to turn requests back on.
