Overall Satisfaction with Vacation Tracker

We use it as a PTO tracker at our company and a way where we can see accrued time and time used and more... It is helpful because you can request it through this but it is a bit tricky for us sometimes since we work biweekly. In general it was a good experiment though. It is good because it is transparent in terms of knowing how much time you have without having to ask your boss every time you want to know. However, we had trouble with the time increments and making it work for our 7.5 hour work day.

Pros

  • easy to sign up
  • visually clear
  • simple in purpose

Cons

  • more time choices or increments
  • helped us determine our specific needs
  • negative in terms of 7.5 workday
  • positive in transparency and history
Because it did not serve us in the sense that our work day is 7.5 hours long. Otherwise, I liked how transparent it was between employer and employee. We wish it had a better way of working with 7.5 hour work days. It was easy to sign up and to introduce but ended up not being the right fit
We thought it was friendly and simple which it is but the issue with the time increments made it quite tricky to use. It is a lot more simplified than what we have used in the past as it really just tracks PTO and nothing else which is nice. However, the issue with our work day being 7.5 hours was not something that Vacation Tracker worked well with. If that changed then I would be much more open to looking into it again.

Would you buy Vacation Tracker again?

It is good for basic increment usage. It was less appropriate for biweekly pay periods and for when work days are technically 7.5 hours with 1 hour unpaid lunch. It got kinda whacky with the numbers then since the concept of a day varied. It was great for transparency between employer and employee in terms of knowing how much PTO one has and how it was previously used. Good for history.
