Revoke managed holidays or absences ✂️🗓️

This guide explains how to revoke (cancel) holidays or any absence that has already been managed. It requires Supervisor or Administrator permissions.

1) Go to Managed absences 📂

1. Go to Absences.
2. Inside Absences, open the Managed absences section.

In this view, for each record you will see:

• 👤 Employee who made the request.
• 📅 Period selected (start and end dates).
• 🏷️ Absence type (holidays, sick leave, leave, etc.).
• 📌 Status (pending, approved, denied...).

2) Revoke an approved absence 🔄

1. Locate the absence with status: Approved.
2. At the far right of the row, click the three-dot menu ⋯.
3. Select Cancel absence.
4. Confirm the action in the confirmation dialog (optionally add a reason).

After confirming, the absence is revoked and stops applying to the corresponding period.

Important limitation ⚠️

Only absences that have been approved through an Absence Request can be revoked. If an absence was entered manually directly in the planner, it will not appear in Managed absences. 👉 In that case: open the plan, locate the shift/absence, and delete it from the planning itself. 🗑️

3) What happens when you revoke ✨

• The status changes to reflect the cancellation (for example, Canceled/Revoked).
• The absence stops counting in the calendar/planning and, depending on configuration, may notify the employee.
• The action is logged in the history (who, when, and reason), keeping traceability.

Frequently asked questions ❓
