Yes, edays offer clocking in functionality. Employees can clock in and clock out of work via desktop or mobile app in just a few taps. Our refreshable, printable QR codes can be placed in different locations so that employees can ‘clock in’ to a certain area, task or activity. Visit our clock in app page to learn more.
Yes, with edays time & attendance software, employees are able to create online timesheets on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.
These can then be sent for approval to managers, who can also run reports on working hours in their teams.
Overtime can also be tracked, and mandatory breaks can be enforced.
edays timesheet software also provides the ability to assign working hours to different projects and activities, for a clear picture on how time is spent in your organisation.
edays time & attendance software is a module that enables organisations to record employee working hours. The software consists of various elements – including the ability to clock in and out, either via desktop or mobile app. Refreshable, printable QR codes can also be placed in different locations and by scanning them, employees can clock in to a certain area or task.
Our time tracking software also includes the ability to create and submit online timesheets on a weekly or monthly basis. Timesheets can be submitted to line managers for approval, and reported on on a weekly or monthly basis. Projects, activities or tasks can be assigned to timesheets, so managers can see how much time has been spent on different work throughout a day, week or month.
The software also allows managers to enforce mandatory breaks, and overtime can be logged within the system too.

Yes. edays allows you to track any type of planned (e.g. holidays, maternity leave, medical appointments, business trips, time off in lieu (TOIL), etc.) or unplanned absence (e.g. sickness, compassionate leave, unpaid leave, etc.) in a single system. You can also create custom absence types specific to your organisation, such as wellbeing leave, and define rules for how these are to be used and recorded.

The return to work process is made faster and more efficient with edays. A reason can be logged alongside an individual’s sickness absence, and for UK employees, relevant NHS guidance can be forwarded on to them to aid in their recovery (see more on our NHS Portal here).
You can automatically send a return to work form to an employee who is returning from sickness absence. This is then stored in the employee’s details in edays, alongside any doctor’s fit notes or medical certificates that may be required.
Before conducting return to work interviews, managers and HR can review the employee’s records and view any previous absences to be fully equipped ahead of the individual’s return.
edays supports all custom absence types, allowing you to add as many types as you like. You also have the ability to define rules for how these are to be used and managed.
Visit our leave management system page to find out more.
Yes. You can configure system alerts to trigger if specific absence conditions are exceeded and automatically notify specified individuals via email immediately.
