TESTIMONIALS

Overtime tracking software without the hard work

“I love the system, I find it really easy to use and it’s a brilliant tool that’s fit for purpose in more ways than one. You should be really proud of the flexibility that edays offers and bang your drum about it because it has made all the difference as far as an HR tool is concerned for me.”

“When I started comparing options for a new system, I found that no one else had the level of automation that edays did. You can set up the templates per country, per person, per leave type… so edays was the solution that jumped out. From the offset I thought it was going to make our lives so much easier.

It’s made such a difference to us, I feel like edays has been there forever now! It is really intuitive and it’s great that managers are able to gain full visibility with the group calendars. We also have great rapport with the edays team and if we need something, they either help us with it, or look into getting new things developed to support us.”

“edays makes the entire absence management process more efficient. From booking holidays to keeping a check on allowances, edays devolves responsibility from HR. Its self-service nature allows staff to take their own responsibility for holiday tracking, making the whole process easier for all involved.”

Yes. Approved overtime data from edays feeds directly into payroll reporting, including the total hours worked, any TOIL allocations, and project or activity breakdowns. This removes the manual step of transferring overtime records into a separate system, reducing payroll errors and ensuring employees are compensated accurately and on time.

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.
