Cancelling a leave request

You can cancel a leave request you no longer need. You can cancel a Pending request at any time, and an Approved request only if it hasn't started yet.

1. Leave — Open the Leave group in the menu.
2. My Leaves — Then choose My Leaves.

Steps

1. Go to Self-Service > Leave > My Leaves.
2. For a Pending request, click the cancel button in the Actions column. (You can also open the request with the view button and use the Cancel Leave Request button at the bottom of the details window.)
3. In the Cancel Leave Request confirmation, click Yes, Cancel Leave to confirm, or No, Keep It to back out.
4. The request's status changes to Cancelled.

What you'll see

• A confirmation message appears and the list refreshes.
• If the leave was already approved, your leave balance is returned to you when it's cancelled.

Troubleshooting

• "Cannot cancel approved leave that has already started or passed." — Approved leave can only be cancelled before its start date. Talk to HR if you need to change leave that has already begun.
• If the cancel button isn't shown for a request, it isn't in a state that you can cancel yourself.
