How to Override PTO Approvals

If an employee needs to cancel a time off request that has already been approved, the request must be rescinded by either an admin or the employee’s designated PTO approver. 

To access:
  1. Log in to BerniePortal as a PTO Approver
  2. Select “PTO” in the top navigation menu

  4. In the secondary navigation, select “Approver PTO Requests”
  5. Under the “Employees” section, select the name of the employee whose approved request needs to be canceled



To rescind: 
  1. In the employee’s PTO modal, select “Requests”
  2. Locate the request under “Approved” or “Used Requests”
  3. Hover over the action wheel for that request and select “Rescind”

  5. Once rescinded, the time will automatically be added back to the employee’s PTO balance, which can be verified in their Accrual History
