Rules That Need Fixing

[GoonerBear]

I'd recommend a leave of absence rule. We had to write one in SHL after the fact and it was a mess. We had to cobble together a ruling based on the existing framework in the meantime, and the ultimate result left several fuming. I don't know if it has ever happened here, though it's something I think is likely you'd have to whip out someday.

In non-technical terms,

-Allow a GM, HO member, job head or League employee to leave for a short amount of time/work cycles without having to resign and reapply. They must let HO or their head know a reasonable amount of time in advance (or whenever they can if they get short notice.)

-Determine or set up a means to determine who fulfills their duties in the meantime, if they even need an interim replacement. For GMs, the Co-GM can step in. For League employees, there's already the backup system. For HO and job heads, whomever HO feels is best.

-If anything happens while they're gone that they caused, they can still be disciplined upon their return.

-If they don't come back a certain time/number of cycles after they said they'd be back, treat them like they abandoned the job.

-If they have to go due to an emergency, the appropriate HO member or job head can relax or negotiate terms.

-Set up compensation for interim jobholders.
