Policy

As outlined in 7CAV-R-004 Extended Leave of Absence:

The Personnel Department (S1) will track and maintain all personnel on the ELOA Roster. An Extended Leave of Absence (ELOA) is a planned absence from the Regiment for a period that is determined by the type of ELOA being applied for. Once approved, troopers are removed from all primary and secondary billets and placed on the ELOA roster.

There are 3 types of Extended Leave of Absence:

• Regular ELOA: Regular ELOA counts as negative days towards time in service. This means that promotions and time in service will be delayed by the length of the actual leave taken. This is calculated upon the trooper's return to active duty. It lasts for 45 days and members may request an extension that must be approved by the Chief of Staff or their designate.
• Medical: Medical ELOA: Medical ELOA does not count as negative days towards time in service. It lasts for 90 days and extensions are not permitted.
• Military: Military ELOA does not count as negative days towards time in service. It lasts for 300 days and members may request an extension that must be approved by the Chief of Staff or their designate. Personnel on Military ELOA are still eligible for their statutory promotions (PFC-CPL). These will be posted on return from ELOA.

The S1 Operational Clerk will contact members who have not returned to duty within 30 days of the end date of their ELOA. Members on ELOA who do not respond and/or file a request for extension within 7 days will be referred to the Chief of Staff for a General Discharge. The Discharges will be issued by S1 HQ.

Additional Guidance on ELOA Abuse can be found in 7CAV-P-009 Guidance on ELOA Abuse.
