Track Time Off Without Disrupting the School Day
Keeping classrooms and offices staffed shouldn’t be a guessing game. Vacation Tracker helps schools and universities stay organized, avoid scheduling gaps, and manage leave effortlessly.

For schools and universities with multiple approval levels, Vacation Tracker makes sure leave requests go through the right channels while keeping everything organized. No more lost forms, no more manual follow-ups—just a simple, efficient process.

12 Best Vacation Tracker Features for Education Teams













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.

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.

REPORTING
Accurate Leave Data for Payroll & Reporting
Education budgets require precise payroll processing, and PTO tracking plays a big role in that. With real-time, accurate leave data, schools and universities can align PTO records directly with payroll—no more discrepancies or missing information.
