Updating Submitted Requests

After you submit a leave request for approval, you can update the request if necessary. If the manager has already addressed the original request, only the changed portion of the request is sent to the manager for approval.

For example, if you initially request eight hours of leave on January 30 and submit the request for processing, and then you update the request to include an additional eight hours of leave on January 31, the approving manager receives an additional request for eight hours of leave on January 31. After the leave is approved, the system updates the original leave request to include the changes.

You can modify or delete an FMLA leave request based on the status of the request. If the request is pending approval, you can modify or delete it. If the leave request is approved and there is no record at status T in the F07620 table, then you can modify or delete the request. When you modify this request, the system deletes the original request and creates a new request in pending status. If there are any records at status T in the F07620 table, then you cannot delete those records, but can delete other records that the user has not yet taken from the leave request. If a request is approved and a part of it is taken, you can only delete the untaken part of it and create another one. You cannot modify an approved request that has been partially taken.

In addition to updating leave date and time information, you can also edit existing comments or enter additional comments. Managers can also add comments during the approval process, but they cannot overwrite employee comments.
