“edays has made annual leave and TOIL management significantly easier for both team members and managers. It’s flexible enough to allow for hourly or daily recording of leave, which is ideal for our departments. It has replaced a number of separate and inconsistent team spreadsheets stored on shared drives, resulting in a central, consistent and manageable leave and absence system.”

“edays have a super reactive support team and the application is frequently updated based on customer experience. The initial set-up was pretty smooth thanks to bulk uploads. I’m still a client because the software is reliable, and our business is happy with it so far.”

“We really struggled with countries using the old HRIS system, we had very little flexibility and limited functionality across HCM. With the combination of Cornerstone for booking and managing learning alongside the absence tracking and reporting offered through edays, we’ve found a solution that has saved endless hours of admin and increased employee engagement globally.”

“Employees find it very easy to use and our managers find it easy to approve and keep track of absences in their department. It’s also easy to use from an administrator’s point of view. If there are ever any issues or things we don’t understand or have difficulty with, there is great support from the edays team who usually solve queries and issues straight away.”
