Tired of Managing Time-Off Requests the Old-Fashioned Way? There\u2019s a Better (and Free) Solution<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Vacation time is near! That declaration either puts you in wild jubilation in anticipating those lazy days of camping or sitting by the lake-shore at the cottage. Or, the thought of vacation tracking and handling the requests from your staff puts you into an immediate anxious state. It shouldn’t be that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps you are a manager in charge of jockeying all of your staff’s vacation request for the summer. Maybe you are just the one designated as the goto time-off “gatekeeper.” Either way, trying to pencil everyone’s vacation leave during the summer months can be a tricky balancing act. On the one hand, you want to make sure you can accommodate everyone’s time off request, but on the other, you have a business to run and projects to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem with vacation tracking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you are like most vacation gatekeepers, you have a trusty calendar hanging somewhere in your office with ink blots and marker trails marking who is on vacation and when. You also end up spending time sending and resending emails back and forth with staff, trying to broker the right time for them to take their time off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of all that, unless they open the conversation among themselves, nobody in the office knows who is off and when. You could post your handy calendar outside your office door, but really, there has to be a better solution than a marked-up glossy paper calendar and email trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Who has what left?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Even if you are OK with that paper relic from the past, what that calendar cannot do is keep track of how many leave and vacation days have been taken by each staff member. More importantly, how many days they have left. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could have a pretty spreadsheet containing all of those numbers, and you could even share it with your staff, but keeping that up-to-date every day is a pain you don’t need to have. You need something a little more connected and current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

There’s an app for that!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
