# Absences

Here at SoCal we utilize Melonly for absence management. To request an absence it must be more than 2 days and less than 16 days, if you need to request an absence longer than 16 days please open a ticket. Absences should be used for reasons such as but not limited to vacation or exams. Most absences will be accepted as you can't always control your situation, although we ask you to avoid requesting constant and unnecesary absences. Absence requests are only available via the Melonly website.

# Melonly Moderator Panel

To request an absence you must use the moderator panel on the Melony website. This can be found on the lower left section of the moderator panel under the button "Panel Toolbox" and then Manage LOA. If you are still unsure how to request an absence it is shown below.

This system can be seen below:

If you are still having any issues regarding absences please open a ticket or contact a member of our HR team.
