Vacation Tracker

Leave management for distributed teams

Visit Vacation Tracker

Vacation Tracker is a leave and paid time off (PTO) management tool designed to replace manual spreadsheets and scattered tracking processes. It solves the problem of complicated leave administration by automating requests, approvals, and balance calculations, reducing administrative overhead and eliminating back-and-forth communication.

The platform operates directly within Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Google Workspace, allowing users to request and approve time off without switching applications. Key capabilities include customizable leave policies with accruals, carryovers, and TOIL; multi-level approval workflows; location-based policy and holiday management; and real-time scheduling dashboards and wallcharts. It also offers reporting and alerts for payroll and planning, a team energy management feature called Recharge, and integrations with ADP Workforce Now, Zapier, and an MCP Connector for AI tools. A mobile app is available for iOS and Android.

Vacation Tracker is built for small to mid-sized teams and distributed organizations across industries. It offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. The product is packaged in plans that do not impose user limits, with the Core plan allowing up to three locations and ten departments, while the Complete plan supports unlimited locations and departments.
