### "Company Holiday Made Easy"

May 19, 2025

5.0

Pros

Incredibly easy to use, very intuitive and able to adapt to specific company holiday needs be setting various parameters around holidays. It's been a game changer!

Cons

There's not a lot to dislike to be honest. We've been using the platform now for a few years and as we grow it seems to adapt. I don't have anything negative to write about it.

### "Leave Dates review"

November 6, 2024

5.0

It was very easy to set up and it working very well within our business

Pros

It has saved me so much time and also we do not need to have paper holiday forms anymore it works very well and records holidays, lieu time, stickness etc, I like that you can customise it for your business it is also very reasonable

Cons

Several staff member struggled to understand the lieu hours gets added into their holiday allowance they would have preferred to have a seperate total for lieu time but now they are starting to understand it so are hoping it was just teething problems.

June 18, 2025

5.0

Great - just what we needed for our small company to track leave in a more organised and transparent way.

Pros

Simple to use and staff like the clarity and simplicity. It has helped the company track leave more accurately and staff can clearly plan their leave throughout the year. Admin team found it simple to set up and useful features.

Cons

So far we have not found anything we don't like. We don't require further detailed reports etc, so we are happy with everything at the moment.

### "Highly recommended!"

December 13, 2024

5.0

Overall, this service has made managing your leave data much more efficient and organized.

Pros

Our company uses this platform to manage leave data and is very easy to navigate. The interface is easy to use and employees can submit and track leave requests with minimal effort. Highly recommended!

Cons

One aspect I liked least about Leave Dates was the reminders to ensure that deadlines and approvals don’t get missed.

### "Leave Dates Review"

October 21, 2025

5.0

Good fit for small to medium teams who want to simplify tracking of holidays and time off. Many reviews mention meaningful time savings and fewer manual processes

Pros

It offers an intuitive and user‑friendly interface for both employees (to request leave) and managers (to approve and view overall leave calendars). For example, users say it’s “really easy to integrate … our agency uses Google Calendar, which feels organic inside our calendar.

Cons

from a small to medium‑sized company and looking to move away from spreadsheets or manual leave tracking.

### "Super simple planning tool!"

January 31, 2025

5.0

I think it's a great tool and makes planning time off a breeze!

Pros

It's so easy to plan your year and see what leave you still have available. Also easy to coordinate time off amongst teams.

Cons

I've not come across any negatives yet, a bonus would be able to add weekend cover shifts to the calendar, so we can see when we're unable to take leave.

### "Easy way to book my holidays"

July 8, 2025

5.0

Overall it makes booking holidays much easier and quicker than before. I like that I can do it on my phone and it’s clear when my days off have been approved. It’s simple and saves time

Pros

I really like how easy it is to check how many days I have left and to book time off without having to email HR. The calendar is clear and I can see when my teammates are off too, which helps plan better

Cons

Sometimes the notifications don’t come through straight away when my holiday gets approved, so I have to check manually. Not a big deal but could be quicker

May 4, 2025

5.0

Both as manager and employee I found it very efficient.

Pros

Very customized in terms of remote locations

Cons

Not fully customized for some regions, for example, in some calendars, holidays should have a half-day for the holiday eve (working half day on that day)

### "Favourite Office Software"

January 20, 2025

5.0

As i mentioned above, I am absolutely happy with it and would defend keeping it if there would be a suggestion of changing programs.

Pros

Leave Dates is super easy to handle, very pleasant on the eye and intuitively designed. Its clear structure and pleasing aesthetics make it my favourite of all programs used in nearly 20 years of UK employment.

Cons

When you click into the calendar date to make a new booking it automatically selects half a day instead of full day and so this needs amendment every single time. Personally I would prefer a full day pre-sen/default.

Hi Marisa! What a lovely review, thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. Our team are so pleased that Leave Dates is your favourite program. Your suggestion re: half days is very important, and this will be passed on to our development team today. Have a fabulous day. Kindest, Che

June 3, 2025

5.0

My experience with Leave Dates has been awesome. It gives me the opportunity to know the balance of the outstanding days and this allow me to plan ahead

Pros

Leave date has been so efficient and efficient as the platform make easier to track my annual. sick and remote working leave. This has also helped the organization to track the leave of their staff

Cons

Since about two years I have started using this as an employee, the only area I will advise you improve is giving a user to have the option to cancel before approval

Hi Emily, thanks for your glowing review of Leave Dates. If you want the quickest look at your leave balance on desktop, just hit 'Summary' on the top menu bar and it is the first item that comes up. If you're on mobile, allowances should be the first item that pops up in your home tab. If you're not able to see them for some reason contact our support team and we will be happy to look into it for you. We really appreciate your review, thanks for taking the time to write in.
