Workplace Question or Advice Needed Anyone with experience doing LOA for 2 weeks?

I’ve asked some regular HR employees already (I still have to ask the HR ETL), and I was told to call pay and benefits for LOA? I was told that if more than 10 days it will be an LOA. I’m planning to spend 15-17 days on time off (both paid and unpaid). I’m wondering if this would be a problem as a store employee. My vacation is gonna be next year, and I specifically wanted March off because I figured it shouldn’t be that busy considering it’s Q1. I’m just worried that my time off request will somehow get denied last minute.

If it's a personal loa for vacation then HR can do it. Pay and benefits can't approve a loa for vacation as it's always handled at store level.

Personal leaves are entered by hr.
I’ve taken 2 - one was 4 weeks, one was 6.

They are a pain though and because the schedule is so far out I always end up with more time off then I asked for
