Intervals doesn’t do accruals but if you need to track total time it can definitely do that. Vacation, PTO, paid leave, and sick leave can be tracked in Intervals by utilizing a “Time Off” project.
Unless you need modules we recommend creating one “general” module for this project. That way, when time is added and the project is selected the module is automatically selected. This makes it easier and faster for people to enter their time off.
Work types of vacation, paid leave, and sick leave can be associated with the project to track the type of leave the person took.
The crosschart report is helpful for measuring time that people take off of work. It’s a high level report that will display the total amount of time each person took off for the given date range. If you are using multiple work types, it will also show the total amount of time for each one. To generate the example pictured below, select people and work type for the axis.
Here is an example of the Crosschart showing total time off by person and by work type.
For communicating when someone is off, the home page can be used with public notes to show when someone is unavailable. Here is an example.
