i am requesting for a leave of absence from my job and im kinda boggled with the line that says it wont be approved RETROACTIVELY what does it mean?
Here it goes:
"Leaves must be requested in advance and will not be approved retroactively"

Retroactive means to go back. If you are off work for say, a week and decide you need a leave of absence; the company will assess your request as of right now and if approved, won't consider back dating your leave to the date you were first off work.

it means that they would like notice you plan to take a leave if it is foreseeable. in some cases this would not be possible though because if you had a sudden need for emergency surgery of some type or were in a serious car crash with many broken bones, etc., you would not be able to go to work and request the leave in advance. is your leave a personal leave or a medical leave ?

You have to let them know before you leave. You can't just take off and then file for it after the fact.
It means that someone took off and didn't tell them, then had a lawyer threaten to sue if they fired him, because they have a leave of absence policy.

If you take leave without getting it approved, even for a good or even great reason, they won't approve it, period.
retroactively = after the fact
Make sure you document the permission (time, place, who gave permission, and keep any documentation for a while.
Good luck.

That means you cant leave today and have your LOA take effect on June 1st.
Ask now for leave effective July 1

Basically, don't skip work and then put in for leave when you get back. They want some warning before you take time off.
