About this employee leave tracker spreadsheet template

This employee leave tracker gives HR teams and managers a complete system for managing time-off requests across four structured sheets. The Leave Requests sheet logs every application with employee name, department, leave type, dates, balance calculations, overlap detection, and approval status. The Employee Leave Cards sheet provides individual balance snapshots, while the Team Calendar visualizes who is away each day of the month.

The Dashboard & Guide sheet pulls everything together with summary metrics and a trigger-action reference table for handling common scenarios like over-limit balances, overlapping dates, pending approvals, and rejected requests. Every cell, label, and formula area is fully editable in WPS Office, Microsoft Excel, or Google Sheets.
