If there was a mistake when your Seniority Entitlement was created — or something changed that requires you to delete the automation — here's how an Admin can remove it (and choose what happens to days that have already been awarded).

## Steps to Delete

- Log in to your Vacation Tracker account at app.vacationtracker.io/signin (https://app.vacationtracker.io/signin).

- Open Workspace Settings and select Add-ons.

- Click View on the Seniority Entitlement card.

- The page lists your existing policies in a table (Active, Name, Leave Type, Period, Created). Click the small bin icon at the right end of the row for the policy you want to delete.

- You'll have to confirm that you actually want to delete the already created automation.

- You'll be presented with two options on whether to keep awarded days (see below).

## Keep or Remove Awarded Days?

#### Yes — Keep awarded days

This option will keep all added days / hours from the Seniority Entitlement. When you open Reports → Company Audit Logs, you will see that the awarded days have been kept.

Tip: Keeping days for Users can be useful if your policy for Seniority Entitlement changed — where old Users should keep the automation and awarded days, but new Users should have a different policy.

#### No — Remove awarded days

This option will remove all added days / hours from the Seniority Entitlement. When you open Reports → Company Audit Logs, you will see that the awarded days have been deleted.

Bin greyed out?

If you just created the automation and the small bin on the right-hand side is greyed out, this means that the currently created Seniority Entitlement still hasn't applied to your account completely, and it will take a few moments to apply. You will see a message indicating this. Once the automation is done applying to everyone in the background, the small bin will be clickable.
