# Process Absence Cancellation Requests

Employees can cancel absence records of any type. For the future absences, this can be done without involving HR (after the planned absence is cancelled, employee's manager receives notification about it). For the past absences, the employees must [request absence cancellation](/v1/docs/cancel-vacationsicknessany-other-absence) from HR. After employee clicks **Request Cancellation** for a past absence record, HR receives mail notification with a link to the absence record to be removed.
