Unauthorise or delete processed leave requests in the Humanforce mobile app (Work & Legacy)

Follow this guide to manage processed leave requests in the Humanforce Work or Humanforce (Legacy) mobile app.
Managers can unauthorise leave to allow edits or delete leave requests entirely, restoring balances and removing any associated timesheets.

Part 1: Unauthorise a leave request

Use unauthorise when a leave request has already been approved but needs to be changed (for example, the employee selected the wrong leave type or dates).

1. Open the Humanforce mobile app.
   • In the Work app, go to Manager > Approvals.
   • In the Legacy app, go to Menu > Switch to Manager Mode > Approvals.
2. Open the Processed view to see requests that are already approved, pre-approved, or declined.
   • In the Work app, open the dropdown and select the Approved or X Declined view.
   • Note: Cancelled leave cannot be unauthorised.
3. Locate the employee’s leave request.
   • Use Filter to narrow by location, department, or role.
   • Use the Search bar to find a specific employee.
4. (Optional) Add a Manager comment. The employee will receive a notification with the comment.
5. Tap Unauthorise.

The leave request moves from Processed back to Unprocessed, ready to be edited and resubmitted.

Part 2: Delete a leave request

Use delete when a leave request is no longer needed. Deleting also restores the employee’s leave balance and removes any associated timesheets.

1. Open the Humanforce mobile app.
   • In the Work app, go to Manager > Approvals.
   • In the Legacy app, go to Menu > Switch to Manager Mode > Approvals.
2. Open the Processed view.
   • In the Work app, open the dropdown and select the Approved or X Declined view.
3. Locate the employee’s leave request.
   • Use Filter to narrow by location, department, or role.
   • Use the Search bar to find a specific employee.
4. Tap Delete.
5. Confirm your action when prompted.

The leave request is permanently removed, the employee’s leave balance is updated, and any associated timesheets are deleted.

Additional information

• Leave management is permission-based. If you don’t see the Approvals option, contact your Humanforce administrator.
• Deleting a leave request cannot be undone.
• If an employee still requires leave after deletion, they will need to submit a new request.
