Employee Leave Tracker PRO for Advanced Workforce Planning
The Employee Leave Tracker PRO for Excel combines employee vacation and absence planning with workforce capacity monitoring in one structured workbook.
Designed for teams that need more than a basic leave calendar, the PRO version supports up to 50 employees and helps you identify periods where employee availability may become critical.
Track vacation, sick leave, home office days, training and other absences while automatically monitoring capacity across your organization.

Advanced Team Capacity Monitoring
Unlike a standard leave planner, the PRO version combines absence tracking with workforce capacity analysis.

This helps you identify periods where multiple absences may reduce available capacity and gives managers a clearer basis for internal planning.

This gives managers a faster way to identify potential problem periods without manually reviewing every absence entry.
How It Works

Microsoft Excel Compatibility
This product includes the Microsoft Excel PRO version only.
A current desktop version of Microsoft Excel is recommended.
The template can be used on Windows and Mac with a compatible version of Microsoft Excel.
No macros or VBA are required.
Google Sheets
Google Sheets is not included with this product.
Importing or converting the workbook to Google Sheets may affect formulas, formatting, dropdown menus and automated capacity calculations.
Correct functionality outside Microsoft Excel is therefore not guaranteed.
Looking for a Simpler Leave Planner?
If you only need straightforward vacation and absence planning for a smaller team, the Employee Leave Tracker for Excel supports up to 20 employees without the advanced workforce capacity features.
An Excel + Google Sheets Employee Leave Tracker Bundle is also available for teams that prefer platform flexibility rather than advanced capacity analysis.
Customization
Employee information, departments, absence entries, shortage limits and capacity thresholds can be adjusted within the designated input areas.
Structural modifications — such as adding more than 50 employees, inserting additional rows or modifying calculation areas — may require updates to formulas, dropdown menus and data validation.
Basic Excel knowledge is recommended for advanced modifications.
