You can cancel a leave request yourself while it's still waiting for approval. Once it's approved, the Outstaffer team cancels it for you.

Cancel a request waiting for approval

  1. Open Leave requests. Select Leave requests in the menu.

  2. Find the request under Pending leave requests. Its status is Submitted.

  3. Click the delete icon on the request.

  4. Confirm. In Cancel leave request, confirm that you want to cancel.

The request changes to Cancelled, and its days go back to your available balance. Your manager isn't notified automatically, so let them know.

Cancel approved leave

Contact Outstaffer support with the dates of the leave. The Outstaffer team cancels it, and any paid leave days go back to your balance.

Change a request

Submitted requests can't be edited. To change the dates or leave type, cancel the request and submit a new one. See How to Request Leave.
