Vacation Time
So, I know I can create a task called “Vacation”, and have staff record time under that task as instructed here (http://www.getharvest.com/help/section/1#faq45). However, it seems that without also linking that task to a project, that task won’t show up on anyone’s timesheet.
How are other people handling this – do you set up a dummy “project” just for this task? Keep in mind that I’m going to be importing the Harvest timesheets into QuickBooks, so ideally whatever workaround for recording vacation time we use, will not cause too much headache upon QB import…
Thanks in advance for any advice.
@sarah You can track vacation or sick time as tasks to a project called “Internal” – Harvest actually sets up the “Internal” project for you when you first sign up for a new account, but if you have deleted it, you can create a new one under Manage > Projects.
We created a vacation project for each engineer. We use the project budget to keep track of their accrued vacation time. This allows us to know how much vacation time is left for each person. But, it would be great if Harvest could have built-in support for vacation time tracking.
Same situation… we have an “Internal Projects” client as suggested, but with other people using Harvest this way, it seems to make sense to integrate vacation/pto tracking as part of the service.
We are looking to support vacation days/sick days in a more seamless way in the future, and we appreciate you letting us know that it’s important to you!
