Holiday Trackers
for UK Teams

Looking for the right holiday tracker for your team? Leavely is one of the simplest holiday trackers on the market. Your team books holidays, managers approve in one click, and balances update automatically. No spreadsheets, no email chains, no confusion.

What the best holiday trackers should offer

All features included at £8 per user per month. No tiers, no surprises.

Visual holiday calendars

See all approved and pending holidays on a clean, colour-coded calendar. Filter by team or department to spot coverage gaps instantly.

Automatic balance tracking

No more manual calculations. Leavely tracks allowances, used days, pending requests, and remaining balance in real time. Pro-rata is handled automatically.

One-click approvals

Managers get an email when someone requests time off. One click to approve, one click to decline. The employee is notified instantly.

Team overlap detection

Leavely flags when too many people from the same team request the same dates. You will never accidentally approve overlapping holidays again.

Works on any device

Leavely is fully cloud-based and works on phones, tablets, and desktops. No app to download. Employees submit requests from wherever they are.

UK bank holidays included

All UK bank holidays are pre-loaded. Choose whether to deduct them from allowance or treat them as additional. Region-specific holidays for Scotland and NI are supported.

Why teams choose Leavely over other holiday trackers

Simpler than enterprise HR tools

Tools like BrightHR and BambooHR are built for large HR teams. Leavely is built for businesses that need a holiday tracker, not a 50-module HR suite. You get exactly what you need and nothing you do not.

More powerful than free holiday trackers

Free holiday trackers handle basic requests but lack automatic balances, clash detection, pro-rata calculations, and reporting. Leavely gives you all of that for £8 per user per month.

No lock-in

Pay monthly, cancel anytime. No annual contracts, no cancellation fees, no awkward conversations with a sales team. Your data is always exportable.

Genuinely easy to use

Employees figure it out in seconds. Managers approve in one click. Admins set up in 2 minutes. There is no training required and no manual to read.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a good holiday tracker?
The best holiday trackers handle balance calculations automatically, let employees submit requests online, and give managers one-click approvals. They should also support pro-rata for part-time staff, handle mid-year starters, and show a visual team calendar. Leavely does all of this and takes under 2 minutes to set up.
Do holiday trackers handle part-time staff?
Good holiday trackers automatically calculate pro-rata holiday entitlements for part-time employees based on their contracted hours or days. Leavely also handles mid-year starters and leavers, so you never have to do the maths yourself.
Can employees see their own holiday balance in these trackers?
Yes. With Leavely, every employee can log in and see their total allowance, days used, days pending approval, and remaining balance. This reduces the number of "how many days do I have left?" questions managers receive.
How much do holiday trackers typically cost?
Holiday trackers range from free basic tools to enterprise platforms costing £15 or more per user. Leavely costs £8 per user per month with all features included. There are no tiers, no setup fees, and no annual contracts. You start with a free 14-day trial and no credit card is required.
