5 Benefits of Using Vacation Tracker in Google Workspace
Google Workspace, without a doubt, is one of the best team collaboration tools available in the market today. The benefits of using this tool are enormous — from creating and sharing files via Drive to hopping on calls with Google Meet, the app brings a ton of functionality to your daily tasks at work. However, did you know that one of the ways you can make your Google Workspace experience even better is by using Vacation Tracker directly in it?
There are numerous benefits to using Vacation Tracker in Google Workspace. And today, we’re here to tell (and show) you all about it! So, without further ado, let’s jump right in.
Why should you use Vacation Tracker in Google Workspace?
The answer is simple — because you can completely automate your leave tracking process with our tool.
Manually tracking and managing time-off for an entire organization is a messy business, to say the least. It’s like getting the kids ready for school in the morning or going to the dentist. You put it off for as long as you can. But when it’s time, you need to get it done quickly. Now with Vacation Tracker, you can book leaves in just a few clicks, and do it all from the comfort of your workspace. Isn’t that convenient? And that’s just one of the many benefits of using Vacation Tracker in Google Workspace. Keep reading to learn more!
The benefits of using Vacation Tracker in Google Workspace
Use a single sign-in
Remembering passwords is hard.
After all, why should you have to remember an extra set of credentials just for the sole purpose of tracking leaves? Our minds are cluttered enough. Let’s not add an extra set of credentials to the very long list of things we all have to remember. With Vacation Tracker, you can sign in with the same credentials you use to log in to Google Workspace to make full use of our online dashboard and other features.
Get easy access
Until today, there were two options when it came to leave tracking. You either tracked your time off in your email, or you tracked it in your calendar. Here’s a wild concept: what if you use both? That makes much more sense, right?
Well, clear your schedule because Vacation Tracker is directly integrated into Google — making tracking your time off just as easy as checking your inbox. Not only that, the app is directly integrated into your Google Calendar as well, giving you easy access to scheduled leaves from the comfort of your workspace.
This ultimately saves you a ton of time in the long run, which would otherwise be wasted mindlessly switching back and forth between apps.
Spend less time on payroll
Today’s workforce runs on a “gotta-have-it-now” mentality.
And a time-consuming process like manually entering leave into a system simply won’t cut it. Just think about all the productivity lost from employees having to know their leave balances from memory. With our leave management system, you don’t have to manually record and spend days calculating employee vacation days on the payroll anymore. Take advantage of all the benefits your team can enjoy by using our tool. From minimizing costly errors to keeping employees involved in the leave process, there’s no better way to stay ahead of the pack than by automating your leave tracking.
With access to our individual user profiles, your team will know exactly how much each employee costs. By doing so, you can eliminate the guesswork involved in payroll calculations and save yourself valuable time that would otherwise be wasted on unnecessary back-and-forth communication. In turn, you will also be able to improve your labor costs by knowing exactly how much each employee costs. Talk about a win-win situation!
Stay informed of upcoming leaves
How many times have you been hit with the last-minute surprise of an important teammate leaving for vacation right before an important deadline?
Wave goodbye to those unwanted surprises with our daily/weekly notifications. These daily reminders will keep you informed of all upcoming leaves in your department or organization. Wanna know the best part? They get delivered directly to your inbox, saving you the hassle of constantly asking everyone who’s going on vacation when.
Simplified leave approval
Perhaps the biggest benefit of using Vacation Tracker in Google Workspace is how easy it becomes to approve and request leaves.
Administrators can receive requests from their employees directly in their inboxes. Then, their employees will get notified of the outcome immediately in their respective inboxes too. Now, instead of waiting for hours for a response from HR, your team can get to requesting and getting leave approval in just a matter of minutes. All from where they work. Isn’t that super convenient?
