In Day Off, admins have full control. They can directly edit a request or delete it for any employee.
Steps to Edit a Request or Delete It
To manage a request:
- Go to People → Employees
- Click on the employee’s name to view his profile
- Go to the Requests section
- Find request you want
- Click on Edit icon to modify details (dates, leave type, etc.) After editing click submit request
or - Click on Delete icon to remove the request
What Happens After You Edit a Request
- Changes made by admins are applied immediately
- No approval workflow is required
- Balances are updated automatically after the change
Admin Control
- Admins can manage all requests, regardless of status
- They can also force accept or reject pending requests
- This ensures issues can be resolved quickly without delays
Why an Admin May Need to Edit a Request
Plans change, and mistakes happen. For example, an employee may pick the wrong dates or the wrong leave type. In these cases, an admin can fix the request directly. As a result, the employee does not need to cancel it and submit a new leave request.
Also, balances are updated automatically after each change. So your leave records stay accurate, and your team always sees correct data.
Tips for Admins
- Double-check the dates and leave type before you submit the change.
- Let the employee know when you change or remove one of their requests.
- Use delete only when a request is no longer needed at all.
- Check the updated balance after the change to confirm it looks right.
