You can cancel a leave request through either Slack or the Spock Dashboard. This is useful when your plans change or you no longer need the time off.

Important Considerations

You can typically delete leave requests that are:
  • Pending approval
  • Already approved (depending on company policy)
  • Rejected requests (for cleanup purposes)
Deleting a leave request may trigger notifications to:
  • Your manager or approvers
  • Team members who were notified of your absence
  • Colleagues assigned as substitutes
If you have calendar integration enabled, deleting the request will also remove the associated calendar events.

Managing Approvals

Understand the approval process for leave requests.
If you need to modify a leave request instead of deleting it, consider canceling the current request and submitting a new one with the updated details.
