Better vacation plans start with the rota you already work
Shift workers rarely choose time off on a clean Monday-to-Friday grid. A good break depends on where nights, weekends, recovery days, and existing rest blocks already sit in the rota. PTO Planner looks at the schedule you already built in RotaFlow and highlights windows where a small number of leave days can create a longer stretch away from work.
What PTO Planner is looking for
- Existing rest days before or after the leave block
- Night-heavy or recovery-heavy stretches you may want to avoid
- Long weekends and natural gaps already created by the rotation
- Time-off windows that feel useful in real life, not just on paper
Compare first, apply later
The point is not to rewrite your pattern. PTO Planner analyzes the base rota, shows candidate windows, and lets you decide what is worth using. That keeps planning calm: you can check whether three days of leave creates six days off, or whether another week gives a better result.
Pro goes deeper for longer-range planning
If you plan holidays far ahead, Pro expands the planning window, adds side-by-side comparison, and supports one-tap Vacation apply. That makes it easier to move from "interesting option" to "this is the block I want to book" without copying dates into notes or a spreadsheet.
