How to cancel a leave application

Cancelling your leave

Select “My Leave” from the top menu, click the “Applications” tab and open the application you want to cancel (see My Leave Applications).

If your leave hasn’t been approved yet, click “Cancel Application”:

Cancel Application button

Enter a reason for cancelling and click “Cancel Leave”:

Cancel leave application

If your leave has already been approved, click “Request Cancellation” instead:

Request Cancellation button

Enter the reason for cancelling and click “Submit Cancellation Request”. Your request will be sent for approval to your leave approver, or to your company’s administration contact if only administrators can cancel approved leave. Your leave stays approved until the cancellation is approved.

You’ll be notified when your leave has been cancelled. If the request is declined, you’ll receive an email with the reason.

Cancelling approved leave

Administrators can cancel approved leave. There’s a setting to allow leave approvers to cancel it too.

Open the application and click “Cancel Application”. Enter a reason for cancelling and click “Cancel Leave”.

The employee will be notified that their leave has been cancelled.

Their annual leave balance will be automatically adjusted to reflect the cancellation.

Approving or declining a cancellation request

When an employee requests a cancellation, it’s marked “Cancellation Request” in your list of leave applications waiting for your approval.

Open the application to see the employee’s reason, then:

  • Click “Approve Cancellation” to cancel the leave. Enter a reason and click “Cancel Leave”.
  • Click “Decline Cancellation” if the leave should stay approved. Enter a reason and click Decline Cancellation. The employee will be emailed the reason.
