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.

What problems is Leave Dates solving and how is that benefiting you?

Goodbye spreadsheets! It's so much simplier, and visual to book annual leave. The Wall Chart features allows me to see as a Manager if there are overlaps with multiple people off at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

What problems is Leave Dates solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had an awful process of having members writing on a peice of card, then it would pass through 4 people, 5 Excel sheets & 1 Diary (why a diary when it's in excel?!)

Due to this being 1 person's "ownership" it was never changed for over 20 years, but now i have the ability to bring us into the 21st Century. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

What problems is Leave Dates solving and how is that benefiting you?

Making booking of holidays, training and any other absence a doddle. No more spreadsheets for us! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

What problems is Leave Dates solving and how is that benefiting you?

Saves time when processing payroll as aabsences are clear and authorised. All managers and directors can see who is away both currentyly and in the future to enable planning. Also prevents an employee from cancelling holiday retrospectively which can only be done by an administrator Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

What problems is Leave Dates solving and how is that benefiting you?

Simple and global management of all our employees leave Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 problems is Leave Dates solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our company simply became too big to manage this on a wall planner. We were spending too much time working out when people were on leave and how this was affecting our effectiveness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

It's a great way to keep track of staff leave, company holidays. It makes everything transparent and is highly configurable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Leave Dates?

Setting up a second section of the company was a little tricky, but I got there in the end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Leave Dates solving and how is that benefiting you?

Staff can apply for leave without having to contact me, so it takes up less of my time. I only have to click approve. Whoever needs to be able to see the details of leave can - it makes staff leave transparent. I can adjusting allowances, pro rata, etc., and be confident that it's accurate.
