Free HR Spreadsheet Templates
HR and operations templates for staffing, schedules, and time away.
What's in this category
These HR templates focus on practical operations: who is working, who is off, and where coverage risk sits. They are designed to be readable for managers and useful for weekly planning, not just record keeping.
How to choose
Use the employee schedule when you need shift visibility across a week, and the vacation tracker when you need balances, approvals, and coverage context for time-off planning.
