# How do I cancel an absence request?

You have the option of canceling open requests at any time. 

1. First click on **Absences** in the left-hand navigation bar and then on **Requests** in the horizontal navigation bar.

2. Here you will find a list of your requests (Pending requests, Approved requests, Rejected requests).

3. You can cancel both pending and approved requests. For example, if you no longer want to take a day's vacation and prefer to work instead, simply click on **Cancel Request** .

4. A new window will open where you can specify the conditions. For instance, you can cancel only a certain part of your leave. If you agree to the conditions, click on **Yes, cancel it** .

5. Your request to cancel has been sent.
