"Mighty system with very good prices & great support"
What do you like best about Leave Dates?

The customer support & time they will give you to ensure satisfaction with setting it up. tons of features that really support what we do here & they will listen be open to new features along the way.

really happy with it & my management are also really excited to get this rolled out to other sites across europe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Leave Dates?

The only thing is the language, currently it is only in English, to get this going across Europe it would be nice if did translate, however i think IOS device does do this with the built in translations from IOS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing, simple to use software"
What do you like best about Leave Dates?

Leave dates is self intuitive. Easy to set up and quick to understand. I had tried several others before discovering Leave Dates and haven't looked back! I am able to personalise the leave types, decide what comes off the annual entitlement. Entitlement years can be Jan- Dec or Apr-Mar and all bank holiday allowances are included and the correct days leave deducted when bank holidays/weekends overlap. Sounds obvious, but some systems I tested didn't do this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Leave Dates?

If someone has booked a half day off and you have set the calendar to not permit 2 people off at the same time, Leave Dates still recognises that someone has booked time off even if one is in the morning and the other in the afternoon, so no overlap. Not a major problem as there are only 2 of us, but an improvement on this functionality could help bigger teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid software for small businesses"
What do you like best about Leave Dates?

I like that it's user-friendly from both a front-end and back-end perspective. It's really easy to integrate into existing systems; for example, our agency uses Google Calendar, which feels organic inside our calendar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Leave Dates?

Although the pricing module is very cost-effective, I think it's slightly unclear that once you go over the five free users, i.e., you go to 6 users, you then pay for all 6. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple to use, great support"
What do you like best about Leave Dates?

Simple to use, employees like using the app, and managers can easily see any holiday clashes before approving. It allows greater planning at key holiday times, and flexible enough to show more than just holiday leave. Reports are useful particularly if an employee leaves as we can see exactly what holiday has been taken in one document. Highly recommended, with prompt support when questions arise.

About to enter our 3rd year of use, managers have suggested looking for alternatives to compare but it's been a firm no from me! I can't see there is a better system out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Leave Dates?

There is nothing to dislike, I haven't found any shortcomings yet! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great product. Easy to use. Fast and efficient support team"
What do you like best about Leave Dates?

We have used Leavedates now for years, moving from the free tier, to hundreds of users. It was really easy to onboard and manage the users via import/export functions. We moved from a spreadsheet system to LeaveDates, and our HR team workload was massively reduced. Our users, both salaried and weekly paid now book all their daily/hourly/weekly leave via LeaveDates. In the few cases we have needed to contact customer support, the response has been quick enough and always handled by someone who understands and also has been to resolve queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Leave Dates?

It would be nice to have incremental earned leave automatically applied/configurable, but I know this is something the support team are already working on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Has taken away completely all of the previous hassles of monitoring and approve leave"
What do you like best about Leave Dates?

Leave Dates is very simple to use and perfect for a small company that has suddenly grown too big to manage with just a wallchart. The interactivity and workflow has transformed our management and communications about when people want to take leave and the reports at a touch of a button so time-saving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Leave Dates?

The set up was slightly confusing, given this was the first time we used this sort of system, but once set up all fine! We were provided with useful help all the way through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Leave Dates?

It's so simple to use. We had a complete overhaul of our syetems a couple of years ago and weren't able to use the previous software we had. I did a tonne of research and nothing compared to Leave Dates. I would 100% recommend this to everyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
