The AnyDB Employee Vacation Tracker template provides a structured, scalable way to manage paid time off using linked records and rollups instead of manual entry fields.

Each employee has a clear PTO balance that automatically updates based on approved Leave Requests recorded in the system. There are no hardcoded day slots and no manual summing.

This makes the template suitable for both small teams and growing organizations.

Suitable for

Human Resources (HR)

How It Works

The system is built around two primary record types:

  • Employee Vacation Tracker
  • Leave Request

All PTO calculations are derived from child Leave Request records linked to each employee.

When a Leave Request is approved, the employee’s PTO Taken and PTO Remaining update automatically through rollups and formulas.

Structure

1. Employee Vacation Tracker (Parent Record)

Each employee vacation tracker record stores profile details and calculated PTO balances.

Core Fields

  • Employee Name
  • Employee ID
  • Department
  • Role
  • Manager
  • Employment Status

PTO Configuration

  • Annual PTO Allowance
  • Carryover Days

Auto-Calculated Fields

  • PTO Taken YTD (Rollup from Leave Requests)
  • PTO Remaining (Formula)

PTO Remaining Formula

Annual PTO Allowance + Carryover Days - PTO Taken YTD

The PTO Remaining value can be displayed prominently as a badge or summary field for quick scanning in dashboards or HR overviews.

2. Leave Request (Child Record)

Each time-off entry is its own operational record. You can either setup a form for employees to submit requests or have managers create them on behalf of their team.

Fields

  • Employee (Reference → Employee)
  • Leave Type (Vacation, Sick, Personal, Unpaid)
  • Start Date
  • End Date
  • Number of Days (Formula)
  • Leave Year (Formula from Start Date)
  • Status (Draft, Requested, Approved, Rejected, Cancelled)
  • Approver (Optional)
  • Notes
  • Attachments (Optional)

  • Annual PTO allowance and carryover
