About e-days
The world's smartest absence and leave management software. With one configurable system, edays reduces admin through automated processes, helps you gain actionable people insights, and empowers you to leave the spreadsheets behind.
edays is an online, self-service web application and mobile app for managing, tracking and reporting employee holiday and absence.
The system is often integrated with core HR and Payroll software to increase the effectiveness of organisations infrastructure. edays is used by more than 1500 organisations worldwide, ranging from large multi-nationals to SME's across every sector and in more than 120 countries.
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.
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.

Absence Management is now clearly and consistently recorded which gives us the tools to manage this (we did not have this pre e-days).
Pros
Because it is an online tool, staff can access it easily from their phones. It keeps clear records and allows us to see patterns for absence at a glance.
Cons
Not always intuitive when something doesn't work but a quick email to support and this is usually rectified with clear instructions from the support team.
