How to use the employee vacation tracker

Step 1. Enter the leave year and each employee’s applicable allowance or accrual basis. Collect proposed leave through time off request forms.

Step 2. Record approved leave with dates and units. Record actual attendance with attendance sheets.

Step 3. Review balances and coverage before confirming further requests.

Record the unit of leave consistently. Hours may be more useful than days when employees have different work patterns, but conversions need a documented basis. Identify the leave year and any approved carryover separately from the new year’s entitlement.

Keep the booking calendar and balance calculation connected without treating them as identical. A request can affect future coverage before leave is taken. Show pending requests, approved future leave, and leave already used so managers can understand both staffing and balances.

Example and checks

An allowance of 20 days less 6 approved days taken leaves 14, before carryover or other adjustments. Half-days need a consistent unit.

A tracker does not determine legal entitlement. Check public holidays, working patterns, carryover, and policy changes before relying on a balance. Plan staff coverage using weekly schedules.
