Overtime tracking software without the hard work

“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 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.”

“The clear UI, scalable structure, concise reporting, and completeness of the package along with its mobile integration and understanding of company structures made edays stand out from the competition. The price was right, and the system was perfect for our requirements. Gone are the paper forms, inaccurate reporting, and confusing hours spent rummaging through half dog-eaten paper trails. We now have an accessible, single-point-of-truth for all of our absences across the company. Managers can administer and oversee/audit absence much more thoroughly and responsively.”

Yes. Approved overtime data from edays feeds directly into payroll reporting, including the total hours worked, any TOIL allocations, and project or activity breakdowns.

Yes. edays supports overtime logging in both hours and days, with configurable settings to match your organisation’s working patterns and contracts. Overtime can also be assigned to specific projects, tasks or clients, useful for organisations that need to track billable hours or report on where additional working time is being spent.

TOIL stands for Time Off In Lieu, additional leave given to employees in exchange for overtime worked rather than paying it. edays manages TOIL by automatically separating it from standard holiday entitlement, maintaining a separate TOIL pot that employees can draw from when taking time off. TOIL can be logged and used in either hours or days, and the balance updates in real time so employees always know what they have available.

Employees submit overtime logs through edays,  recording the extra hours worked and assigning them to projects or activities if needed. The submission goes to their line manager for approval. Once approved, the overtime is automatically calculated and either added to a TOIL entitlement pot or flagged for payroll compensation, depending on how your organisation has configured the system. Managers and HR can run reports on overtime at any time by individual, team, location or company-wide.

Overtime tracking software automates the recording, approval and management of additional working hours. It captures hours worked beyond an employee’s standard pattern, routes them through a manager approval workflow, calculates any TOIL entitlement automatically, and feeds accurate overtime data to payroll,  removing the manual processes that lead to errors and underpayment.
