Designed for HR teams, managers, or small business administrators, this template ensures clear visibility into leave balances and time-off history throughout the year.

Human Resources (HR)

Description

This template combines a user-friendly layout with calculated fields and dropdown inputs to simplify vacation tracking. Employees or admins can log vacation days using a date picker and indicate whether the time off is for a full or half day. The system automatically tracks:

  • PTO taken (summed over the year)
  • PTO remaining (displayed visually as a badge)
  • Total available PTO for the period

The template includes:

  • Employee name and ID
  • Vacation period (e.g., 2025 calendar year)
  • PTO taken log: Dates and selection of 0.5 or 1 day off
  • PTO summary: Days used and days remaining
  • Color-coded cells for visual clarity
  • Locked total fields to preserve accuracy

The badge titled "PTO Remaining" visually summarizes the current balance for quick scanning in dashboards or HR overviews.
