Cancelling or deleting a leave request
If you no longer want to take leave that you've requested, you can cancel either the whole request or individual days in the request – even if you've already started taking it. When you cancel a leave request, you can still see it on the Cancelled tab of the Leave Requests screen, but you can't make any changes to it.
If a leave request hasn't been approved or declined yet, you can choose to delete it instead of cancelling it. Unlike cancelled leave requests, deleted leave requests aren't shown on any of the screens in MYOB Advanced Payroll or Employee Self Service.
After you cancel or delete a leave request, all the dates of untaken leave in the request become available again for new leave requests.
To be able to cancel leave, the request has to have one of the following statuses: Declined, Open, Submitted, Approved Not Paid or Ready to Pay.
