Edit and delete leave requests

Edit an employee's leave request

Important

You can only edit unprocessed leave requests. We mark a leave request as processed when the payslips for the Pay Run containing the applied leave request sync over to your HR platform. Use the clock symbols to see the status of the leave request. You can learn more about them in the Definitions: Symbols tab in the Further information section at the bottom of this article. Also, when an admin that has a manager edits an approved leave request that belongs to them; we will set the leave request to pending.

  1. Click the  Time menu.
  2. Click the Leave Management submenu.
  3. Click the Action button.
  4. Click the Edit button.

    Helpful Hint

    You can use the Expand button to display the leave details for each month.

    Important

    If you are only submitting a half day off work for your employee, then you can edit the value within the Hours field. For example, instead of nominating eight hours for a full day of leave, you can nominate four hours for a half day of leave.

  5. Make the required changes to your employees leave request, then click the Submit button.

    We don't seem to have the functionality of requesting/approving leave. This has disappeared for about a week now and we don't see that option. Can you please help?
