Moota Recharge Leave: When Is Your Next Recharge?
AI Mode · grounded in Knowledge Search

Key Points About Recharge Leave

Recharge Leave is a 30-calendar-day paid leave granted once every 5 years of continuous service at Moota, counted from your most recent hire date.3

Upcoming program changes take effect January 2026: requests must be filed at least 90 days ahead, and unused leave no longer carries past 12 months of eligibility.1

The leave is taken as one continuous 30-day block — it cannot be split across multiple periods.3

How to Find Your Next Recharge Date

  1. Check your hire date in PeopleHub. If you joined Moota on, for example, 1 October 2021, you’ll be eligible for Recharge Leave on 1 October 2026.4
  2. If you’ve already taken a Recharge, your next eligibility is 5 years after your last Recharge Leave ended.2

How to Apply

  • Discuss your plans with your manager at least 90 days in advance.3
  • Submit your request in PeopleHub (Time Off widget → Request Leave of Absence → select “Recharge Leave”).4
  • Your request will be routed to your manager and HRBP for approval.4
Request your Recharge Leave Generated by AI
Based on your hire date, you became eligible on Mar 4, 2026. The agent can pre-fill your PeopleHub leave request, check calendar conflicts, and draft a note to your manager for review before anything is submitted.

If Your Dates Need to Change

Edit the existing request in PeopleHub under Absence › My Leave rather than filing a new one; changes within 30 days of the start date need manager re-approval.2

Pay and Benefits During Recharge

Your salary, equity vesting, and benefits continue as normal for the full 30 days — Recharge is paid leave, not an unpaid sabbatical.4 Company holidays that fall inside your block do not extend it.3

Coverage While You’re Out

  • Attach a coverage plan to your request — on-call handoffs and open review threads are the two things managers check first.1
  • Set an out-of-office in TeamChat and your calendar for the full block.4
  • Avoid scheduling your block inside a release-freeze window; approvers are asked to flag conflicts.1

If You Leave Moota With Unused Recharge

Unused Recharge Leave has no cash value: it is a benefit rather than accrued PTO, so it is not paid out on departure and expires 12 months after your eligibility date.1

Wellness Is Important for Productivity

Internal People-team data shows employees returning from Recharge report higher energy and retention; the program exists so you actually disconnect — you are not expected to check email or TeamChat during the block.3
