“edays has made the job of managing absence easier. It has cut down on time spent looking to see if holidays are allowed and reduced the number of emails having to be sent to advise employees as to whether a holiday has been approved or not. The initial set-up was easy to understand & work with.”

“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.”
