With one configurable system, edays reduces admin through automated processes, helps you gain actionable people insights, and empowers you to leave the spreadsheets behind. It provides a cloud-based and self-service solution that lets employees handle processes related to absences, leave entitlement rules, and process automation for HR teams. Over 1,400 companies across 120 countries, in 25 languages, trust edays global absence \& leave management software. The system is often integrated with core HR and Payroll software to increase the effectiveness of organisations infrastructure. Unlike an Excel spreadsheet or paper-based systems, edays delivers value to managers and HR leaders by providing instant access to accurate employee absence records. Employees can also quickly access their holiday entitlement and request time off work with ease. Managers are able to book absences themselves or authorise absence requests at the click of a button through email notifications. As a best-of-breed software, edays is highly configurable and offers a range of different customisable options to best suit your organisation and its needs. Whether that's the ability to offer holidays in a mix of hours and days, to have holiday calendar years that start at varying dates, or to offer different accrual entitlements based on a number of factors. edays can be used to manage any type of absence within an organisation including sickness, overtime, time off in lieu and can support any custom absence types that an organisation might have. High-level reporting tools can be used to gain insight of absences across an organisation whether this is a general overview or looking at a specific employee’s absence trend. Compared to a manual absence management process, edays saves business costs and allows organisations to become more productive whilst reducing their unplanned absence levels. The system is designed with ease-of-use and flexibility in mind, and can grow as your organisation does. Templates allow admins to set certain rules for employees on a global, regional or working-pattern basis, to reduce admin and allow entitlements to be automatically calculated. This also helps you to act globally, as you can ensure you are compliant with any local absence and leave laws. Understand how, when, and why your people take absence and leave. With insightful data, edays gives you the visibility you need of your workforce – no matter their location. Through these insights, edays encourages progressive management that can drive employee loyalty whilst reducing sickness and absenteeism. In fact, edays customers have a 50% lower than national (UK) average sickness rate.

In addition, it makes it easier when there are absences from work to be able to have the notification and have a record of the days missed. With its mobile application that works perfectly, I can register requests for licenses or overtime worked from anywhere without having to be in the human resources office. > > **Cons**: Each function has been useful in my work life and I like all the processes I can do from the application > > provides benefits of filing applications much faster ----- ### "CP Holdings Update" — 5.0/5 > **Tracy Bruce** | *25 March 2025* | Executive Office | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: easy for individuals to use, and easy for admin (myself) to get a clear understanding of the group's absence etc. > > **Cons**: the reporting I find hit and miss, and trial and error usually to obtain the information. > > excellent business tool to use and easy to understanding ----- ### "Worst Customer Service" — 1.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *4 April 2019* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: In principal the features are easy to use > > **Cons**: In principal the features are easy to use and seem relatively straightforward, however when you try to use or change any of its functionality in practice, it never works correctly. The system regularly encounters issues and records change without any admin or user instruction to do so. The technical support team are never able to investigate or explain these changes. Or provide a satisfactory resolution. The technical support are unhelpful and provide no service whatsoever. > > Awful. Have implemented and used many other more intuitive and better performing systems. ----- ### "Great System, Great service" — 5.0/5 > **Livnat** | *7 April 2025* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: e-days is simple for the user and for the admin. the system is quite flexible and had the possibility to adjust to the business needs. > > **Cons**: Overview of the history and log is missing in some areas. for example time submission and leavers info. > > In general, I'm super happy with the system.

I felt the support I got was always very fast and helpful. my feedback was always taken seriously and I enjoy working with the team. ----- ### "Great absence management tool\!" — 5.0/5 > **Mandy** | *8 July 2025* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's been very easy to use, all of our employees say it's user friendly, the visuals are great, customer support > > **Cons**: The reporting could sometimes be bit better especially on absence management to see sickness and see charts but otherwise no real issues > > E-days has been a great app from an administrator perspective and employee. All of our employees love how easy and simple it is for them to use. We've not faced any issues receiving support as well when we've needed to make amends or changes from admin side.
