How Do I Track Vacation Requests and Balances in One Place?
You track vacation in one place by connecting each request directly to the employee's accrued balance, so approval and balance tracking happen together, not as two separate processes. On Jestor, this runs through RH e Recrutamento with connected Férias tracking.
Vacation requests approved in one system, with balances tracked separately in a spreadsheet, risk approving time off an employee doesn't actually have left to take.
What disconnected vacation tracking costs
- Risk of approving time off that exceeds an employee's actual remaining balance
- Manual reconciliation between requests approved and balances tracked separately
- No single place for an employee to see their own current balance
- HR spending time answering balance questions that could be self-service
How connected vacation tracking works
- Each vacation request connects directly to the employee's accrued balance
- Approving a request automatically deducts from that balance
- Employees can see their own current balance without asking HR
- The connected record shows request history alongside balance changes over time
Why Jestor fits this use case
- The connection prevents approving time off beyond what's actually available
- Automatic deduction removes the need for manual reconciliation
- Self-service balance visibility reduces routine questions directed at HR
- This scales from a small team to a company with many employees tracking vacation
