Pros It's so easy to use and the information is clearly displayed. Cons Behind the scenes set up can confuse me sometimes but that's probably because I'm not techy and most of it is straight forward. The support team are great so if I do find I'm having problems they can always help. Reason for choosing edays I had used E-day in previous employment so when I moved to an office that was still using paper to manage absence I knew we would benefit from using E-days.

Pros You can use for multi-countries with different bank holidays, some of which also have different calendar start dates and can cope with part-time hours too. A lot of reporting functions. Individual & group ways to make changes. For most functions very easy to use, the more you put into the software, the more you will get out of it. Plenty of instruction videos to teach you something new. Cons Would be great to get a app and simplifying and menus more. Reason for choosing edays largely because they couldn't cope with our foreign offices with different bank holidays Review Source LN Lianne N.

Managing Director Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "e-days" March 19, 2019 4.0 Much easier than spreadsheets, auditable, everyone can see what is going (but limited to the levels required by the business), makes booking holidays and monitoring absence a very easy process. Pros Easy to use and easy to set up, you don't need to be an IT specialist to get going quickly. Cons It could do more with the addition of timesheet facility. Other than that it is very effective.

Cons As an administrator sometimes navigating your way around and selecting the right thing can sometimes be difficult. Review Source RD Rosa D. Director of Capability Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great first few months" March 20, 2019 5.0 e-days is huge step forward for us. It's our first absence management system, having previously had each member of staff complete paper timesheets each month. We've finally stepped into the 21st century! Pros Look and feel, ease of use. User friendliness. Cons Not being able to visualise Overtime and Time in Lieu Earned bookings in the calendar views. I accept and understand they are not categories of "Absence". Even showing them as "corner tags" with callout boxes would be great. Ideally using the same visualisation style as for absences would be the preferred solution. It's the one common topic I've had negative feedback from my managers on. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer HR Assistant and Cover Manager Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "e-days review" May 16, 2019 4.0 Pros I like the individual user dashboards, makes seeing absences very easy.
