Senior HR Officer Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "E-days review" November 8, 2024 4.0 Pros The system is quite easy to use, and is actually the easiest I have used. Cons Reports include leavers which is confusing. Can't find a report heading to identify line managers. Switched from [Moorepay](https://www.capterra.com/p/128703/Natural-HR/) We were sold a payroll system, and then an add on of a HR module which didn't actually work Review Source Response from edays Absence Management November 26, 2024 Hi Natasha, Thanks for the review!

Human Resources Assistant Medical Devices Used the software for: 2+ years ### "4 Stars. Good support but could be slightly more user friendly " March 12, 2025 4.0 Good experience overall, but loses a star from some elements being less user friendly. Pros Good support from help desk when help is needed. Easy to view holiday, sickness etc on the calendar (clear presentation.) Cons Using the tools as an administrator can sometimes be complicated and unclear. Some processes are complicated and require help needed from the support desk. For example, adding a day off for birthdays was harder than I had anticipated. Review Source Response from edays Absence Management March 20, 2025 Hi Ellie, Thanks for the review! We're happy to hear you're having a good experience overall and that you're able to get helpful support when needed. Kind regards edays HB Holly B. HR and Recruitment Coordinator Security and Investigations Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A positive experience with eDays" March 24, 2025 4.0 Overall the experience has been positive, it is nice now knowing who we can reach out to if we have any questions/problems. The system is easy to use, while allowing us to personalise it in ways that suit our business. Pros Simple to use, when introducing new employees to the system it is very self explanatory which makes it easier for both parties. Since connecting with an account manager, we have found out ways to utilise the system even more e.g. setting up workflows, so the system does work well in my opinion. Cons Sometimes when setting up new joiners, the system does not automatically calculate the holiday they are owed. The only way we have found out is when employees go to book holiday and it says they are entitles to zero days. We still have not found the solution for this, so there is some manual work still needed but luckily it doesn't happen with every employee. Review Source Response from edays Absence Management April 4, 2025 Hi Holly, Thanks for the review! We're glad it's nice and simple for enrolling new employees, and that your account manager has been able to help you with making the most of your system. Kind regards edays HT Hollie T.

The platform is intuitive and works well for us - especially as we have employees across the globe. Employees find this easy to use and there's lots of useful functionality with reporting, being able to proxy as a user and many other things! Pros The ease of use, and how helpful the support team are with any and all queries! Cons Nothing jumps out - the only struggles I have are from being new to using the system and still finding my way around!

The help given by \[sensitive content hidden\] and her team has been most appreciated.

HR Support Specialist Wine and Spirits Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "E-Days Review- first three months" June 27, 2023 4.0 It is easier to track absences, not just for a particular employee, but for the entire population. We're able to see how many planned absences will occur, so we can put measures into place, employees are able to book time offs and await approvals. It has definitely saved time. Pros \- It is user friendly and the support portal is very efficient and effective, and the support team works to fulfill ticket requests in a very short time so as to prevent any consequences from occurring.- Reports are extremely easy to pull and aid in the decision making process. Cons Entitlements feature wasn't the easiest to navigate once an employee was already added. However, support as previously mentioned, support is readily available.

You can also filter through many different type of absences, such as annual leave, extra holidays, unpaid or sick days etc. requests go through but only approved by management and you can get a clear picture of the entire company.
