How do I change or revoke a time off request in Simployer One? 

After submitting a time off request, you may need to remove or change it. What you can do depends on the status of the request. 

• Pending requests can be removed before they are approved. 
• Approved future requests can be revoked if your company allows employees to revoke leave. 
• Past requests cannot be revoked. If a past request is still pending, it can be removed instead.

How do I remove a pending time off request? 

1. Go to Manage time > My Time off. 
2. Open Leave activity or the Calendar. 
3. Select the pending leave request. 
4. Select Remove. 
5. Confirm the action.

The request is removed and disappears from your leave activities. 

How do I revoke an approved time off request? 

1. Go to Manage time > My Time off. 
2. Open the Calendar or Leave activity. 
3. Select the approved leave request. 
4. Select Revoke. 
5. Select Update request.

Whether the leave is revoked immediately or requires approval depends on the leave policy. 

Note

Employees can only revoke approved future leave requests. Pending requests can be removed instead. Past leave requests cannot be revoked. 

What happens after I revoke a leave request? 

Leave requests that did not require approval 

If the original leave request did not require approval, the leave is revoked immediately and removed from the Calendar and Leave activity. 

Leave requests that required approval 

If the original leave request required approval, the revoke request is sent to the same approver who approved the original leave request. 

• Approve the revoke request. 
• Reject the revoke request.

Can I change only part of an approved leave request? 

No. You can only revoke the entire approved leave period. 

1. Revoke the entire approved leave request. 
2. Wait until the revoke has been processed if approval is required. 
3. Create a new leave request with the correct dates.

Example: If you have approved vacation from 14 July to 8 August but want to return on 1 August, revoke the entire period and submit a new request for 14 July to 1 August. 

Why can't I revoke a leave request? 

• The leave has already started. 
• The leave is in the past. 
• Your company has not enabled employees to revoke leave. 
• You do not have permission to revoke the leave.

If you cannot revoke a leave request, contact your manager or system administrator.
