Businesses that rely on manual processes for absence and leave put employees, Human Resources, and payroll through hard times. Simply requesting a holiday is a time drain and can be fraught with inaccuracies and questionable security. Separate logins and paper or spreadsheets are inefficient and old-fashioned. edays integrates (using Single-Sign-On) to HR and Payroll and with your calendar (iCal export) for full leave visibility. A simple and elegant experience with not a single spreadsheet in sight.

Holiday booking made easy. Companies with employees spanning multiple countries know the pain of maintaining multiple sets of legislation and policies to ensure compliance. Employers with people on differing contracts know the struggle of manually calculating holiday entitlement. Businesses with a transient workforce know the headache of manual leaver calculations each month. HR and payroll teams set time aside every, single, month just to tackle the mountain of admin that stacks up behind each holiday request. This isn’t sustainable.

edays handles global absence, compliance, and variable working patterns, with no manual calculations. It’s super flexible too and will auto-calculate changes in policies, holiday entitlements, and work out leaver calculations. Why wouldn’t you want edays?

Intelligence that supports your people AND your business. Managers often accept holiday requests only to realise they’re unable to deliver when multiple members of the team are off at the same time. Lack of easy holiday visibility is a simple fix with edays, so you are never knowingly understaffed again. Managers also have the capability to plan around absence trends and proactively manage employee wellbeing – predicting who might need a break and is at risk of burnout so they can offer the most helpful course of action. Real-time insight into who has taken leave, who has taken very little, or perhaps who has taken far too much, are key HR insights for employee health and wellbeing.

The edays mobile app allows employees to log requests, and managers to review requests, anywhere any time. The group calendar access makes it easy for employees to plan leave and holidays at times when they’re more likely to get it approved, and to avoid any clashes or overlaps with other team members. It also provides visibility of when others are off to assist with managing team workload.

People managers are then able to quickly review leave requests, with sight of who else may be off at the same time, allowing them to provide quick feedback and improving the employee experience.

When employees are planning holidays or time off, this is unlikely to be during working hours, so the mobile app offers them a seamless way to request this leave while they’re thinking about taking it, rather than needing to wait until they’re back at their computer.
