How to use this leave tracker
Add your employees
Enter employee names in the tracker. Use built‑in filters in Google Sheets or Excel to quickly view leave by person or team.
Set your leave types
Create up to six leave categories (e.g., Annual Leave, Sick Leave, Bereavement Leave, Parental Leave). Assign short codes like "AL" or "SL" and log them on the calendar; the sheet totals days automatically.
Add public holidays
Add NZ public holidays — Waitangi Day, Anzac Day, Queen’s Birthday, Labour Day, Christmas Day, and your regional anniversary — to keep the calendar accurate.
Track time off and accruals on autopilot.
