"So easy to manage my staff's annual leave"
5/5
What do you like best about Leave Dates?

Leave dates is easy to use for employers and employees. Setting up the company was very easy and it's flexibility works well as my employers are all on different hours due to flexible working. My staff and I use it regularly on both the website and app.

I especially like how you can add toil as a feature to note, we offer our staff time back so it's perfect.

I also have it integrated with my calendar so I can easily see who's on annual leave. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Leave Dates?

The only downside is that it's not completely free but it is well worth the money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple annual leave tracker for my company"
5/5
What do you like best about Leave Dates?

Leave dates has streamlined the staff leave for my company. It was simple to implement the staff have found it very easy to use. I use it on a daily basis to keep track of staff leave dates and the customer support is very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Leave Dates?

I would like a feature to remind myself and staff to book leave, particularly those with high numbers of leave dates to take. This would be useful at the beginning, middle and towards the end of the leave year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"So simple, but incredibly useful!"
5/5
What do you like best about Leave Dates?

Setting up Leave Dates was incredibly easy. We have it linked into our company dashboard, so our staff are able to easily book their holidays any time they like. Approvals are straightforward, and approval notifications are sent without delay, so a process that used to take a day or so can now be completed in 5 minutes!

Holidays booked, and holiday allowances, are very transparent and clear. Leave Dates has also allowed our holiday booking process to become completely paperless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Leave Dates?

I don't think there are any downsides to Leave Dates that we have spotted. No complaints at all! :-)

It would be wonderful if one day it could integrate with/synchronise to "Runn.io" for capacity management, (or perhaps this is already possible somehow and I haven't worked it out?) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"please allow shift patterns, Quarter days do not work! other than that it's slick and easy to use"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Leave Dates?

everything is very easy to setup, use, approve etc.

the customer support was good in terms of timings and respectul, but my suggestion wasn't handled, just taken on board.

the app is super modern and smooth with good ease of intergration.

and the GDPR standards of what is REQUIRED is very low and the reason it's our choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Leave Dates?

please allow 1/4 days in stead of the member chosing there own hours!

we have shifts and you timings do not work with this.

it's almost unusable with the shift pattern and quarter shifts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good job of automating authorisation and recording of holidays"
4/5
What do you like best about Leave Dates?

The company now has got an accurate holiday record which is visible and therefore agreed by staff and management.

Simple and pretty intuitive for staff and management to use.

Approvals can be delegated and all the steps in the process are transparent.

Implementation was straightforward, no training needs just a quick 10 minute demo, plsu a few reminders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Leave Dates?

If holidays or sickness is taken but not booked before the end of the current month (e.g. if managment dont spot an unbooked absence (especially if its on the lst day of the month), you have to do a file upload to add the missing entries. Not the biggest issue but it's the one thing you can't amend within the app, you have to create an excel file, and then upload it into the app. Customer support however were very helpful in showing me how to do this.

"Easy to use and is FREE for up to 5 users"
5/5
What do you like best about Leave Dates?

For a small charity, it is important to have good software to take care of administrative tasks.

LeaveDates is an easy system to set up, to use and is available 24/7.

It give ownership to individual staff to take their holidays. At the end of the year, it is easy to find any unused days for accounting too! It is a time saving software! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Leave Dates?

Leave type of 'Time off in lieu' - it is not easy to underesand and use it in the system. Perhaps the free version is very limited for use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for leaving us such a great review, it really helps our future customers understand Leave Dates from our existing customer's perspective.

We would love to send you a personal thank you, could you please contact us on hello@leavedates.com.
