VACATION PLANNING WITHOUT THE GUESSWORK

Make the next request
a better-informed one.

Employee leave management starts before someone presses Submit. Help your team understand their time, your company policy, and the dates that need more thought.

Vacation balances in view

The planner can show available vacation, future planned days, and the remaining balance after planned time. Employees can consider their options before asking a manager.

The dates around the request

Bring company holidays, blackout periods, date restrictions, and team coverage guidance into the planning picture. A long weekend or a busy work period becomes easier to see.

A clearer manager decision

Keep leave requests in a shared workflow. Managers can review the request against company policy and coverage needs, while employees can follow its status in the portal.

FROM PLANNING TO APPROVED LEAVE

A simpler path
to time away.

Bring the employee's planning view and the manager's review together. When a request is approved, those dates also become unavailable in the employee availability schedule.

Read the employee time-off guide

Plan with the relevant information

Review balances, planned days, company holidays, and restricted dates before choosing when to take leave.

Submit a request in the employee portal

Choose dates and the appropriate request type. Keep the conversation attached to the request rather than scattered across inboxes.

Keep approved time and availability aligned

Manager decisions stay in the workflow, and approved leave blocks the same dates in employee availability.

YOUR POLICY. A SHARED UNDERSTANDING.

Make the rules easier
to understand and follow.

Configure how time off works for your company, then help employees use the policy with context.

Explain entitlement and notice

Set company policy values for time-off entitlement, default hours per day, approval requirements, and notice. Plain-language guidance helps admins understand what the settings control.

Adapt to different working arrangements

Class-based workers can see affected classes and substitute considerations. Contractors receive availability and assignment-conflict guidance instead of assuming standard employee PTO rules.

Keep leave and payroll connected

Vacation tracking helps manage time away. Vacation pay is a separate payroll consideration, shaped by the worker's configured policy and payroll rules.

PRICING THAT FOLLOWS YOUR WORKFORCE

Pay for the people
you actually pay.

Keep seasonal, part-time, and backup workers on your roster. Your per-worker charge follows paid activity, not every name on file.

GOOD QUESTIONS

Questions about vacation and time off tracking.

Need a closer look at your workflow?

Talk to PayrollVU
Can employees see vacation balances before requesting time off?

The employee time-off planner can show available vacation, future planned days, and the remaining balance after planned time. What an employee sees depends on the company policy and worker setup.

Can managers review holidays, blackout dates, and coverage?

PayrollVU supports company holidays, blackout periods, date restrictions, and coverage guidance in the planning workflow. Managers can review requests against the company's configured policies before making a decision.

Does approved time off affect employee availability?

Approved time off automatically marks the same dates unavailable in the employee availability schedule, helping employees and managers keep their planning views aligned.

Is vacation tracking the same as calculating vacation pay?

Time-off planning and vacation pay serve different purposes. The planner helps manage leave and availability; payroll calculations depend on the worker's configured vacation policy and payroll rules. Review both when setting up a workspace.
