How Enactus improved their PTO tracking for the better

“Why do it manually? Vacation Tracker is just better record keeping,” she also says, as her team no longer has to fill out spreadsheets and wait for weeks to get their leaves approved.

Custom Leave Tracking for Education

PLANNING

Custom Leave Tracking for Education

Not all academic institutions follow a standard workweek, and Vacation Tracker adapts to custom work schedules and workdays. Whether it’s a four-day school week, semester-based staffing, or administrative rotations, you can set up leave tracking to match your institution’s structure. 

 

Additionally, leave duration tracking allows you to monitor both short-term absences and extended leaves, ensuring proper coverage for long-term substitutes or department restructuring.

Accurate Leave Data for Payroll & Reporting

REPORTING

Ensure leave balances are accurate. 

Organize leave data by department, faculty, or role.

By automating leave tracking, schools can save time, reduce payroll errors, and ensure compliance with institutional policies.
