TESTIMONIALS

Our customers love edays features

“We find the edays system excellent and very user-friendly. I’m the master user in the HR team and have found it to be a great system. The help desk at edays is also excellent and always reply with accurate help straight away. Whenever I meet other HR professionals I always recommend edays if they want an effective holiday tracker system.”

“As an introduction to a company that hasn’t used this kind of software before, our experience has been a really good one. The flexibility is great – we’ve set up various custom absence types in the system, which has really helped us to reduce admin time spent on requests. For example, we’ve got a medical appointment one and that is limited to four hours. So if someone tries to put that in for a day, it won’t allow them to do it. It’s such a time-saver.

To get everyone on board with a new system is often hard, but everyone I’ve spoken to seems to really enjoy using it. It’s straightforward, it’s not complicated, it’s really clear; you can see your leave, entitlement, working pattern. And I think that’s the key thing when you’re introducing this kind of system to people.”

edays absence management software is different to other absence monitoring software providers because our system is purpose built to be as customisable as possible, allowing HR and people managers to use it in ways that suit their organisation’s unique requirements. Our absence system supports part-time and full-time employees, and leave and absence can be recorded in either days or hours. We can handle leave carryover, overtime tracking, clocking in and out, and we enable organisations adhere to the EU Working Time Directive, among many other features. We also cater to large and global organisations with several locations – be it in one country or multiple. edays absence management software users can be separated into groups, with different leave entitlements and rules set for each one, meaning you can manage employees in one country differently to another.
