Pushing Back an Absence Request (Manager) in HRS

Overview

When an employee submits an absence request that needs some modifications, such as, changing the take type, length of absence etc., the Manager may want to choose the option of "Push Back". If this is the case, the absence request will be sent back to the employee to review and modify as the Manager suggests.

Note: If an employee mistakenly submits an absence request to their supervisor, there is no way for the employee to recall the submitted request unless the employee contacts the supervisor to have them "push back" the request. From there the employee can modify and resubmit the request.

Process Considerations:

  • Employees should always review their absence balances before submitting any absence requests. The employee's balance will display on the page once they have selected the Absence Name.

      *Note: The Current Balance on the page reflects whatever the employee's leave balance was when they submitted the request and will not reflect any other absence requests that were pending at the time. You should always verify that your employees have available hours in their balance before approving any absence requests.
    6. You will see the Push Back Confirmation page. Click Yes to push back the absence.
