How to stop employees from deleting holidays

We need a way in which we can prevent employees from deleting their own holidays. As a business, our company policy does not allow holiday cancellations up to week before the absence and must be checked with approvers or inline manager prior to cancellation. We need a flag adding to the employee planner or a company wide setting which means people can't delete their own holiday from their planner.

Describe the Challenge Operationally this is causing many problems - employees are not adhering to our company policy as we can't enforce it and people are just deleting holiday from their planner.

    We have the same issue.

    As a predominantly fee-earning organisation when an individual books annual leave we immediately book cover with an agent to cover the period of annual leave. If an individual is able to cancel leave and it is missed by the manager we will incur a charge from the agent for entire week if the locum turns up for work
