How to cancel leave

Leave can be cancelled within WhosOff, but how the leave is cancelled depends on what permissions you have. Please find below a step by step guide on how to cancel leave for all given situations. Note that staff cannot edit their own leave requests; these would have to be cancelled and re-submitted.

STAFF MEMBERS

As a staff member you may be able to cancel your own leave if it has not yet occurred or already started, whether it has been approved or not. However, your company may have set a cancellation period, determining the amount of notice you must give in order to cancel leave. In this case, you might not be able to cancel leave, even if it is for future dates.

LEAVE IN THE FUTURE

• Login to your WhosOff account
• Click on Leave on the Left Hand menu
• Click on the My Leave option
• Locate the leave you wish to cancel (use the Date Range filters at the top of the screen if the leave is not shown)
• Click the Cancel option in line with the relevant request, at this time the system will prompt you for confirmation (see screenshot below). If you don't see a Cancel option, you cannot cancel the leave and must contact your line manager or account super user for further assistance.
• Once you have confirmed that you would like to cancel the leave, the system will inform you and your approver by email notification. If any allowance was deducted from your yearly allowance then it will be automatically credited back to you.
