Timebutler does not allow you to change approved vacation requests after the fact, to prevent manipulation and ensure audit compliance.
To change an approved vacation request, you must delete the vacation request and submit a new one.
Employee users cannot delete the vacation request themselves. Instead, Timebutler sends a cancellation request email to the manager. The manager can approve the cancellation request; Timebutler then deletes the vacation request and informs the employee by email. The employee can now submit the new vacation request.
Managers and admins can delete vacation requests and then submit a new vacation request.
Admins have a convenience feature:
For example, if an employee has entered a 2-week vacation and falls ill in the last week, the admin only enters the 1-week illness entry. Timebutler detects that the illness entry overlaps with the vacation request and offers to shorten the existing vacation request automatically.
So admins only enter the new entry, and Timebutler automatically shortens, splits into two parts, or deletes existing entries, depending on how the new entry overlaps the existing one.
