“We can now say with confidence that 100% of our absence and overtime is now tracked and monitored within the regions that use edays. This ensures our employees get paid for their overtime and gives us a more accurate picture of absence within those regions, allowing us to plan our resources more effectively.”

“I have used edays in my previous HR role, when I introduced it to our team, and found that the system was very easy to use and the support team super responsive. This meant that when I moved to my new role and realised we needed a system to manage annual leave and absence – selecting edays was a no-brainer. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any business or HR professional when in need of a straightforward and easy to use system that looks and feels great.”

“I think implementing edays is one of the best things we’ve done for our people. The in-depth absence data it provides has helped us get a handle on both unplanned and planned absence to proactively identify and address wellbeing issues.”

“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.”
