Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
Use this page when you need a practical way to track vacations, sick days, holidays, and other time off around Asana tasks. The goal is a usable record that shows who was unavailable, which dates were affected, and how that absence changes weekly capacity, project coverage, and timesheet totals.
A clean workflow does more than mark someone away. It gives managers enough context to avoid assigning unavailable people, review weekly hours with paid time not worked in view, and keep client billing focused on actual billable work. Time off should clarify the work record, not blur it.
Treat time off as its own entry type, separate from task time. A useful absence record includes the person, date or date range, time-off category, daily amount, approval status, and any note your policy requires. Project task entries should still describe time actually spent on work.
Separation matters during review. A week with 32 project hours and 8 hours of approved time off tells a different story from a week with 40 project hours. The first supports capacity and payroll review. The second supports project progress and billing review. Mixing the two creates cleanup later.
Time off changes availability before it changes project reporting. A manager should review planned absences before assigning Asana work, then compare scheduled capacity with tracked project hours at the end of the period. That review catches overload, missing coverage, and accidental work entries on approved days off.
The common mistake is using absence as a note inside a task comment. Comments are easy to miss in payroll, staffing, and billing workflows. A structured time-off entry gives the team a consistent record that can sit beside working hours without turning non-working time into project delivery time.
A one-off tracker is enough when you need to record one absence, check a weekly schedule, or reconcile a small team's time off manually. It works for simple calendars, light approval needs, and low billing complexity, especially when one person owns the review.
A managed workflow fits better when Asana projects drive client work, approved time off affects capacity, and billable time feeds invoices. Everhour can keep time off in timesheet context while Billing & Invoicing turns billable time and expenses into client invoices without rebuilding records by hand.

Track time off as a separate absence entry with the person, date range, category, hours or daily amount, and approval status. Keep task time reserved for work actually performed. This structure lets managers review availability, project progress, and weekly totals without treating paid time not worked as delivery time.
Approved time off can appear in gross weekly totals when the timesheet is used for payroll or capacity review. It should stay separate from project task hours so managers can see the difference between working time and paid time not worked. That distinction protects billing, utilization, and staffing decisions.
The biggest cleanup comes from recording absence inside task notes or generic project entries. Those records do not give payroll, managers, or billing reviewers a reliable absence category, approval state, or date range. Use structured time-off entries so absence remains visible outside individual task discussions.
Managers should check approved and planned absences before assigning Asana tasks for the week. The review should compare each person's expected capacity with active assignments and deadlines. A person with a full-day absence needs adjusted workload, reassigned coverage, or a deadline change before the gap becomes a project issue.
Time off should not become client billable work. Billing records should come from billable project time and approved billable expenses, while time off stays in timesheet and capacity context. Keeping those records separate prevents invoices from including paid absence that does not represent client delivery.
Everhour Billing & Invoicing creates invoices from uninvoiced billable time and expenses, with amounts calculated from rates, time, and billable expenses. Time off can stay in timesheet totals for review, while invoices focus on billable project work and exclude non-billable task time.
Everhour Resource Planning can place vacations, sick days, and holidays on the schedule so managers see absence beside project assignments. Weekly capacity settings help compare planned workload with availability, which makes overbooking easier to spot before work is assigned.
Keep absence visible in timesheets while Everhour Billing & Invoicing converts billable Asana work and expenses into client invoices, giving teams cleaner billing records.
