Cancelling or Deleting a Leave Request

If you no longer want to take leave that you've requested, you can cancel either the whole request or individual days in the request – even if you've already started taking it. When you cancel a leave request, you can still see it on the Cancelled tab of the Leave Requests form, but you can't make any changes to it.

If a leave request hasn't been approved or declined yet, you can choose to delete it instead of cancelling it. Unlike cancelled leave requests, deleted leave requests aren't shown on any of the forms in payroll or employee self service.

After you cancel or delete a leave request, all the dates of untaken leave in the request become available again for new leave requests.

To be able to cancel leave, the request has to have one of the following statuses: Declined, Open, Submitted, Approved Not Paid or Ready to Pay.

Cancelling a Leave Request

  1. Go to the Leave Requests form.

  2. Open the leave request you want to cancel. The Submit a Leave Request form opens.

  3. On the form toolbar, click Cancel.

  4. Read the Confirmation pop-up message, which tells you that leave requests cannot be edited or deleted once cancelled. To cancel the request, click OK. The request's status changes to Cancelled.

Cancelling Individual Days in a Leave Request

  1. Go to the Leave Requests form.

  2. Click the leave request you want to cancel days for. The Submit a Leave Request form opens.

  5. At the top of the table, click Cancel Leave Request.

  6. On the main toolbar, click the Save icon.

Deleting a Leave Request

You can only delete a leave request that has a status of Open or Submitted.

  1. Go to the Leave Requests form.

  2. Open the leave request you want to delete. The Submit a Leave Request form opens.

  3. On the form toolbar, click the Delete icon.

  4. In the pop-up window, click OK.
