How Can I Track My Vacation and Sick Days?

By Robert Palmer

Are you tired of losing track of your vacation and sick days? It can be difficult to remember how many days you have taken off and how many you have left. Luckily, there are a few ways to easily track your time off.

Use an Excel Spreadsheet

One of the easiest ways to track your vacation and sick days is by using an Excel spreadsheet. You can create a simple table with columns for the date, type of time off, and whether it was approved or not. You can also add a column for the number of hours or days taken off.

Example:

Date Type Approved? Hours/Days
January 1, 2021 Vacation Yes 8 Hours
March 15, 2021 Sick No 4 Hours

Using an Excel spreadsheet allows you to easily update your time off and keep track of how much time you have left.

Use an Online Time-Off Tracker

Another way to keep track of your vacation and sick days is by using an online time-off tracker. There are many different options available, such as TSheets, Time Tracker, and BambooHR.

These tools allow you to request time off, have it approved by your manager, and then automatically update your balance. This eliminates the need for manual tracking and ensures that everyone is on the same page.

Ask HR or Your Manager

If you don’t want to use an Excel spreadsheet or online tool, you can always ask HR or your manager for your time-off balance. They should be able to provide you with this information and update it as needed.

Conclusion

Tracking your vacation and sick days is important to ensure that you are using them effectively and not going over your allotted time off. Whether you choose to use an Excel spreadsheet, an online tool, or simply ask HR or your manager, make sure that you are keeping track of your time off.
