Employee Vacation Tracker Template
Simplify your employee vacation tracking process with this fully customizable template from Wrike.
Automate vacation requests
When vacation requests don’t come through the proper channels, they can get lost or approvals can be delayed. Use the vacation calendar template from Wrike to ensure your team members follow a set process for requesting time off. Once your employees input the dates for their vacation request, you’ll receive an automatic notification.
Set automatic reminders
Keeping track of which requests have been approved, denied, or need addressing without an efficient approval process can be very difficult. With Wrike’s employee vacation tracker, you can set automatic reminders for each request so you can approve or reject them promptly for your employees.
Increase team visibility
If vacation requests are stored in a folder, understanding your team’s capacity throughout the year becomes impossible. Our vacation scheduling template serves as an interactive dashboard that allows you to visualize all your employee vacations at a glance and determine whether a new request can be approved.
How to use the employee vacation tracker template in Wrike
Are you struggling to keep track of employee vacation requests? Are your team members failing to manage workloads because too many employees are absent at the same time?
Wrike’s employee vacation tracker template creates a single location for receiving and assessing employee vacation requests and monitoring your team’s capacity through busy holiday months.
- Gather employee vacation details with request forms
- Track employee vacation days with reports
- Stay apprised of planned employee availability with calendars
- Monitor upcoming and completed vacation requests with dashboards
Managing vacation requests for an entire team, whether you oversee a handful of people or a large number, can be a difficult and time-consuming task. Determining whether employee vacation requests can be approved requires an efficient system.
This employee vacation tracker template sets up an easy-to-use system for approving, tracking, and monitoring time off.
Step 1: Use the request form to submit a vacation request
Employees use the custom request form to submit their own vacation requests and include all pertinent information. They will input their name, requested vacation dates, and any contextual information in the notes box.
Step 2: Monitor vacation requests with a dashboard
Easily view which vacation requests have been approved, denied, or need more information with the customizable dashboard. You can also get an overview of each employee’s vacation days with the built-in report.
Step 3: View approved vacation days on a shared calendar
Absences can be viewed on a team calendar, which is color-coded to reflect each employee’s approved vacation request. Look forward to future weeks and months to assess whether vacation requests can be approved and monitor your team’s capacity to take on additional projects.
