“It gives people a lot more visibility, they can access everything easily from wherever they are and it makes reporting so much more accessible. Implementing edays has also had a really positive impact on other areas of our business too. Since overtime and holiday calculations are so much more accurate now, it means fewer problems with payroll each month.”

“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.”

“The feedback from the team has been excellent. The edays employee directory has totally changed how we work. We were totally paper-based before and we can rest assured that employee documentation is secure and easy to find.”

“edays have a super reactive support team and the application is frequently updated based on customer experience. The initial set-up was pretty smooth thanks to bulk uploads. I’m still a client because the software is reliable, and our business is happy with it so far.”
