Does anyone know how to get rid of a Pending Leave Request for an employee from 2020? Reviewing the request only shows that it is 'pending' and can't be deleted.

You can remove the request by clicking the Trash can icon to delete it, Sharon68. Could you share the steps you've taken to delete the request? Did you see any error prompt?

Here's a sample visual reference:

If the trash can icon is missing, we may need to troubleshoot your browser to remove the possibility of a cache issue. Begin by opening an incognito browser to start fresh. You can use these keyboard shortcuts depending on your browser:

• Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
• Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + N
• Safari: Command + Shift + N

Try to delete the request again. If successful, clear your regular browser's cache to remove specific issues and help the program run efficiently. You can also consider using other devices and supported browsers to ensure everything works as expected.

You can generate payroll reports to gain a clearer understanding of your business's financial health and better manage your employees' data.

Hi, thanks for the response but it would appear more complex than simply deleting the request. Apologies I'll try and explain the situation as best I can:

• In the PAYROLL tab/screen a Pending Leave Request message in an amber coloured box with an amber coloured '!' appears, this relates to a request from 22.05.2020 some 5 years ago. 
• Clicking on Review Request takes me to the screen Leave Requests. Leave Status is Pending Leave Requests. The request appears:  Annual Leave start date of 26.05.2020 - 29.05.2020 29 Hours and the STATUS is Pending.
• When using my mouse to hover over the icons to edit, accept, refuse, delete a  red 'no entry' symbol appears as well as a pop up tab which says 'Leave Request in Progress'.
• I am unable to take any further action.
