# Recalling a Leave Request After Submitting

A leave request can be recalled from within the [Leave Requests option](/sui/docs/leave-requests-option) by the user who entered the request or by the employee for whom the leave request was made.

> **Note:** Only a leave request with a status of Approved that has not yet been brought into a batch of Employee Absences or Pay Period Entries (or processed on the FMLA screen in the Employee File, if applicable) or with a status of Pending can be recalled.

#### **How to recall a leave request:**

1. Select the **Leave Requests** menu (or select the **Leave Requests** menu and then **Inquiry**).
2. On the Leave Requests screen, select the **Inquiry** tab if not already selected.

> **Note:** The Inquiry tab is only available if the user has rights to enter leave requests (within the User Security option).
3. The leave requests previously entered by the user in the last six months display showing the applicable status (Unsubmitted, Pending, Approved, Recalled, Rejected, or Cancelled). If desired, change the filters to modify the leave requests listed on the screen.
4. Click the **View/Edit** link to the right of the leave request to delete, or double-click on the leave request.
5. Once the leave request displays, click the **Recall** button.
6. If designated to do so (in the Email Manager option), notification emails for the recalled leave request will be sent at this time to the appropriate users as based on the approval path. If there were notification email messages that did not go through, an error will be tracked in the Activity Log option (on the System Log tab) and an alert will appear on the main School Accounting System screen. If an email is rejected, the rejection notice will be sent to the appropriate address for the designated email address in the Email Manager option.
7. The recalled leave request can then be edited and resubmitted, or else cancelled or deleted. If needed, refer to [Editing a Leave Request Before Submitting](/sui/docs/editing-a-leave-request-before-submitting) or [Cancelling or Deleting a Rejected or Recalled Leave Request](/sui/docs/cancelling-or-deleting-a-rejected-leave-request).
