Leave Request Cancellation Policy

[bokanoo]

In the leave approval workflow, it appears that an employee can cancel a leave request even after it has been approved by the line manager. Typically, the request cannot be canceled while it is in an approved status; cancellation is usually only permitted when the status is pending. Is there an option or setting to adjust this? Please advise.

Hi @bokanoo ,

In Horilla, the leave cancellation workflow allows employees to request the cancellation of their leave requests under certain conditions:

1. Pending Status: Employees can request cancellation while the leave request is in the Requested status without any restrictions.

2. Approved Status: Employees can request cancellation even if the leave request is Approved, but only until the leave request start date. Once the leave period begins, cancellation requests are not allowed.

3. Approval Process: The cancellation request must be approved by the Reporting Manager or Super Admin to finalize the cancellation.

If you need any further adjustments or settings regarding this workflow, please let us know.

Best Regards,
Team Horilla
