Canceling future absence requests
You can cancel any future absence request for employees in your department. To do this:- Go to the Overview page in absentify and locate the absence request you want to cancel.
- Click on the request to open the absence details popup.
- Click the garbage can icon in the bottom-left corner of the popup and select Cancel request.
- Provide a reason for the cancellation in the prompt.
- Confirm the cancellation.
Canceling past or ongoing absence requests
If the Retroactive absence cancellation setting is enabled by your HR administrator, you can also cancel absences that:- Have already started, or
- Have occurred in the past.
- Follow the same steps as for future requests (above).
- Confirm the cancellation in the prompt.
Note: Regular employees cannot cancel their own past or ongoing absences. This functionality is only available to managers (if enabled) and administrators.
Key considerations
- Notification emails: Any cancellation triggers an email notification to all relevant parties, including the employee and approvers.
- Access limitations: Managers can only cancel requests for employees within their assigned departments. If you cannot cancel a request, contact your HR administrator to verify your permissions.
- Record keeping: Canceled requests remain logged in the system for audit purposes, with the reason for cancellation visible to authorized users.
