How do I cancel or edit my leave? (Desktop)

Modified on Fri, 22 Dec 2023 at 02:33 PM

Changed your mind about the leave you've booked? Well, you've come to the right place.


  1. Click on your profile picture in the bottom left of the screen, and select 'My Profile' from the list.
  2. You will be taken to your profile summary page; click the Leave tab on the left of the screen.
  3. Find the record that you want to update. 
    1. If the leave has been approved you'll need to request to cancel the leave by clicking on it and selecting the 'Delete' option. The deletion request will be sent to your holiday approver and once they've responded you'll be able to add a new leave request with the updated details.
    2. If the leave has been denied or is still pending you won't be able to edit or cancel it; instead, you'll need to add a new leave request.
