Vacation Manager is here to help you, your hr team and all of your employees manage , to manage vacations in your organization. It is designed to fully integrate with JIRA software, so you can easily use existing configuration without much hassle.

Besides main and obvious feature: managing vacations, the main advantage of Vacation Manager plugin is an integration with JIRA. We wanted to create easy to use plugin for everyone, both regular and management users and we rank users. By doing so, we believe that one way of accomplishing this step is to use components that JIRA users are already familiar with. So in Vacation Manager we tried to base our functions on JIRAs' core elements that we tweaked to best match our plugin requirements.
Vacation Manager consists of one main JIRA project. Within this project you can create new Vacation Types that will be automatically mapped to new Issue Type in Vacation Manager project. From here, any user in Vacation Manager User Group will be able to create new Vacation Document, that internally will be visible as a normal Issue and will be able to be filtered using JQL functions. Also all changes and actions on that Vacation Document will be logged, just like in any other issue. And on top of that, all of the Vacation Manager groups like HR, Users and Supervisors can also be mapped to your existing groups in JIRA.
