What Vacation Tracker is
Vacation Tracker manages employee vacations, sick leave, paid time off, approvals, balances, and team availability. Administrators can set policies by location, configure accruals and rollovers, track hourly leave, and handle time off in lieu. Slack users can submit, edit, approve, or cancel requests through a bot. Microsoft Teams provides a bot and tab, while Google Workspace users work in the dashboard and receive email updates. Each workspace can run only one integration at a time. Android and iOS apps support submitting, approving, and tracking time off. Developer options include OAuth2 authorization, REST API access, Zapier triggers, and an MCP server. Vacation Tracker says it is SOC 2 Type II certified, GDPR compliant, and encrypts data in transit and at rest. It is hosted on Amazon Web Services servers in North America and Europe. Support is available by email or chat Monday to Friday, 9 AM–5 PM EST. A 14-day trial is listed, but no free plan is available. Paid plans start at $1/user/mo billed annually.
