Generally, the question commonly arises due to the operational need for a handover to be completed by the exiting employee.&nbsp; Whilst you can request that they consider cancelling their leave or returning early to assist with this handover, you cannot force it to occur.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 13.5pt 0cm;

Note: consideration must be given to the need for handover and how long a handover would reasonably take to occur.&nbsp; For example, if an employee has provided 4 weeks\u2019 notice and they could reasonably complete a handover in a two-week period, it would not be reasonable to refuse their request for the 2 weeks where handover would not be required.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 13.5pt 0cm;
