What are the benefits of using Breathe's holiday tracker?
If making the whole holiday booking process easier isn't quite enough, here are some other great benefits you can expect from Breathe's employee holiday tracking system:
Holiday management becomes faster, easier and much more convenient with a company holiday tracker – for employer and employee alike.
Even when a new member of staff joins, the staff holiday booking system will automatically adjust the annual leave allowance depending on the time of year.
Forget about manual updates – all staff holiday entitlements auto-refresh whenever your business’ designated holiday year begins.
Set specific holiday blackout periods to ensure staff don’t request leave when they’re needed in the office most.
Create company-wide holidays, like Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, to automatically prevent employees from using up annual leave on days they're already entitled to, based on your company policy.
Holiday clashes are flagged quickly and easily, notifying you via email or push notification, to avoid any potential holiday leave chaos.
The visual calendar holiday tracker lets you see all upcoming employee leave over future months, helping you manage workload and staff cover.
All staff holiday and absences can be seen at once – whether they’re in the past, present or future.
Which types of companies use leave tracking software?
Lots of companies in all sorts of industries use leave management and tracking systems to handle staff holiday requests and employee absences.
And whether you're a start-up, a small business, or a large company, it's not just our staff holiday planner that's designed to suit your needs – every part of Breathe's all-in-one HR software is designed to bring HR admin into the modern age.
How easy is it to access the employee holiday tracker data?
Accessing your data is super quick and easy. All you need to have is an active internet connection and our holiday management software will automatically update the data whenever new information is added onto the system.
Employees don’t even need to be in the office to request holidays – using Breathe, they can submit holiday requests whenever is convenient and wherever they are.
Is using a HR holiday tracking system secure?
Generally, using a good HR holiday tracking system is secure. Here's why:
Centralised data: Instead of having holiday requests and records scattered across emails, spreadsheets, and bits of paper, everything's kept in one secure place. This lowers the risk of data getting lost or falling into the wrong hands.
Access control: A good system lets you control who can see what. So, you can make sure only the right people (like managers or HR) can access employee holiday information.
Data protection: Reputable HR systems follow data protection rules, like GDPR. This means they have to have strong security measures in place to keep your data safe.
Backups and security: These systems usually have regular backups and security features (like encryption) to protect against data loss and cyber threats.
And with Breathe, you get that peace of mind. We're committed to GDPR compliance and have earned ISO 27001 certification, so you can be confident your data is handled with the utmost care.
Of course, it's always wise to choose a well-known and trusted HR system to make sure you're getting the best possible security.
Will leave management software be expensive to buy, install and set up?
Cloud-based HR software, such as Breathe’s employee holiday tracker, is now much more affordable to buy, install and run. Our monthly subscription fee starts at just £22 per month (excluding VAT), and varies depending on the size of the organisation involved (i.e. how many employees there are).
Most HR software is now charged on a monthly subscription basis, replacing the old-fashioned way of needing to pay a large up-front cost. Here at Breathe, we also don’t charge installation costs, and we won’t ask you for any cancellation fees should you decide to leave either.

You can use the Breathe People Portal mobile app to track, manage and request your own leave. You'll need to log into the desktop app to manage and track your employees' leave.
Does employee holiday tracking software sync with Google, Outlook/Office365 calendars? How?
Our holiday tracking software makes it easy to sync your Breathe holiday calendar to your Google or Outlook/Office365 calendar, using an .ics link. This way, all employee absences appear in one central place, keeping you and your team organised.
Can holiday tracking software handle multiple absence types?
Yes! Breathe’s software can track annual leave, maternity/paternity leave, medical appointments, training days, and more. You get a clear view of all employee absences in one calendar for easy absence management.
What makes an employee holiday tracker better than spreadsheets?
Using an employee holiday tracker eliminates the risks of manual errors, misplaced data, or overlapping leave. It’s faster, more reliable, and accessible from anywhere – no more clunky spreadsheets!
