TESTIMONIALS

Paid time off tracking software that’s trusted by organisations worldwide

“edays has made our lives easier when it comes to tracking and managing absence internationally. We were extremely impressed with its capability to keep in line with the local holiday rules and regulations of our EMEA branches and how easy the platform was to use.”

“In any situation, my first port of call is to look at the edays system. If there is something we need to add, we can easily do that, and this helps me and offers a clear picture of what the year is going to look like. For example, if we have staff that has planned leave for maternity and paternity leave we can account for that in advance. Without edays I couldn’t do my job.”

“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.”
