Why switch to our Absence.io alternative?

Although Calamari has done a great job at helping teams simplify leave management, Vacation Tracker can help you do it better, all from the comfort of your workspace. Here’s how.

No direct integrations

No direct integrations

If you don’t have a leave tracking tool that’s built into the same tools your work from every day, you’re missing out. Big time. While Absence.io is not directly integrated with any platform, Vacation Tracker’s integrations help you request and approve leaves, get notifications, view your leave history, and much more — directly from your workspace. Talk about convenience, right?

No daily or weekly notifications

No daily or weekly notifications

With Vacation Tracker, you can get leave updates on the go from right within your favorite team collaboration tools. Our daily and weekly leave notifications contain important leave information about all scheduled absences. This way, you can see who’s off, for what reason, for how long along with any upcoming national holidays without leaving your workspace.

No user customization or filtering options

No user customization or filtering options

Save yourself the hassle of swimming through a sea of leave information by filtering through it using customized Labels, Locations, Departments, or all three. Personalized Labels allow you to separate a set of users (regardless of their Location or Department) from the norm by assigning them all a Label. Now you can see exactly what you want to see, without struggling with information overload.

No automated PTO accruals

No automated PTO accruals

Calculating accruals is often one of the most important and time-consuming aspects of leave management. While HRnest does not offer this feature, Vacation Tracker allows you to calculate and automate Accruals with just a few taps on your computer. Input the frequency of accrual (monthly, semi-monthly, or bi-weekly) and we’ll handle the rest.
