As an HR Admin, you may need to correct time-off request mistakes, especially if the request has already started or passed. Common mistakes could be:
- Wrong details like time-off type and time-off period
- Changes in shifts (applicable to industries with shift-based schedules)
- Any other unexpected or emergency situation that resulted in time-off changes
Editing a time-off request is not currently possible, so you will need to cancel the initial request (and have the employee submit a new one if needed).
Upcoming
To cancel an upcoming request:
- Visit the Time off tab within the employee profile
- Visit the Upcoming subtab
- Locate the time-off request that needs to be canceled and click Cancel request in the menu
If there was an error in the request, then the employee will need to submit a new time-off request with the correct details; otherwise, no further action is needed.
Note: Upcoming time-off requests can also be canceled by the employee, the employee’s line manager and any managers in the same vertical line above the employee.
History
To cancel a request with a present or past date:
- Visit the Time off tab within the employee profile
- Visit the History subtab
- Locate the time-off request that needs to be canceled and click Cancel request in the menu
