How Do I Remove Hours from the Schedule When I Can’t Approve a Cancel Submitted Request?

IMPORTANT:  This is a workaround for Cancel Submitted time off requests that will not respond to action (approval) by an approver only.  Under normal circumstances, hours should only be added to or removed from the schedule through time off request actions.
  1. To remove approved hours from an employee’s schedule, use the following steps:

    From the Campus Time & Attendance homepage, open the hamburger menu (top left corner) 

  2. and select Schedule Plan.

  3. Select the desired date or date range and select the employee.
  4. Right-click on the approved hours to open the actions box. 
  5. Click Delete.
  6. Repeat for each day in the time off request.
  7. Save your changes (upper right corner) and look for the confirmation message (upper right side).
  8. The hours will be removed from the day and returned to the employee’s accrual balance.  Although the Cancel Submitted banner will remain, the employee or manager can submit a new request for this day.
