If you need to make changes to a leave request which has already been approved you'll need to cancel the existing record and then add a new one.


Need to cancel an employee's leave request? That could be awkward. Luckily, updating the system doesn't have to be.


  1. Head over to the team page by clicking on the 'More' button at the bottom of your screen and choosing 'Team' from the menu. Select the Leave tab.
  2. Find the team member, either by scrolling through the list or using the search bar at the top of the screen.
  3. Once you've found the team member click on their name. This will open their profile.
  4. Find the leave record that you need to cancel and click on it.
  5. Click the 'Deny Request' button at the bottom of the screen.
  6. You'll be given the option to write an explanation for your decision, and then to confirm; your decision and the reason for it will be emailed to the employee. No pressure!
