“Employees find it very easy to use and our managers find it easy to approve and keep track of absences in their department. It’s also easy to use from an administrator’s point of view. If there are ever any issues or things we don’t understand or have difficulty with, there is great support from the edays team who usually solve queries and issues straight away.”
