Editing Absence Request
You can only cancel absence requests that begin within the next six calendar months. For example, if the current month is July and the absence you need to cancel is in January (seven calendar months away), you must wait until August 1st to cancel the absence. Please NOTE: You cannot cancel a request after the deadline in HCM; you will need to complete an Absence Adjustment Form, have your Manager review and sign it, and return it to your College HR Department or District Office Payroll within two pay periods of that absence request.
To begin editing an absence request, you must first start by canceling the original submitted request; once this is completed, you can edit and resubmit it for approval. For absence requests in "Submitted" or "Approved status," you must cancel the request first and then edit the canceled request. The general steps to the process include:
- Cancel the absence request
- Review the canceled absence request
- Edit necessary information on absence request
- Submit edited absence request
Please note: an extra step is required if you want to submit the request for only part of the day. Once you have the canceled absense request reopened, modify the amount of time for the day, which begins with step 9 in the "Entering a Partial Day Absence Request QRG" linked below.
