We really like this product!
overall we like the product, it solves our questions within this holiday/leave topic.
PROSEasy to use, easy to manage.Provides great views, and its easy to build in the payroll process as well with the reports.
CONSthere is nothing like that. we had a minor google calendear integration bug, but the LeaveDates team resolved it, and provided continuous communication over the progress.
Reason for choosing Leave Dates
there were some hungarian alternatives, but usability and price was the main factor. as we are using this product only for tracking leaves it is just enough for us.

Great system!
Great benefits with allowing different team leaders to approve requests. The department feature is excellent and provides autonomy and control over ones annual leave.
PROSIt's so easy to use for our employees, and so easy to manage as an administrator.
CONSSometimes the requests do not notify everyone that has been added to the notify list.
Reason for choosing Leave Dates
We chose Leave Dates because we have international offices and it was easier to keep everything on one platform.

A Fantastic Piece of Kit
Leave Dates has revolutionised the way we that we do our HR. Before, everything was tracked with bits of paper and spreadsheets. It wasn't as transparent as I wanted for employees. Leave Dates has brought in transparency for me, department managers and members of staff, collating information into one clean place .
PROSFor me, the best thing about Leave Dates is how easy it has been to set up and port all of my current information over. The clear user interface is so easy to use, even for staff who are less technologically minded and it's brilliant that it has an app.
CONSI'd like it if there was a way of setting up 2 stage approval for leave, for example, an employee could request leave if approved by their manager it would come to me for final sign-off.
Reason for choosing Leave Dates
It was much more reasonably priced! And it has an app!
Vendor Response
Hi William, Thank you for taking the time to leave your fabulous review. We really appreciate your suggestion for two-stage approval, and we love hearing how we can improve Leave Dates. It is great to hear that you love using Leave Dates on desktop and mobile. Kindest, Che

PROSEasy to view & understand annual leave Can track TOIL
CONSNo issues so far Had to persuade team that this would be a simpler solution than using a spreadsheet - which it is!

Clean and easy to use interface
I had been with Leavedates for about 3-4 years. Started as a free user while managing a smaller team and when my team grows, we opted to pay for the service
PROSI had been using Leavedates for a few years already and I see clear and great improvement over time. Sure there are other options out there for manage leave application; but I do appreciate the modern and wonderful looking UI.
CONSI wish there are option to switch different type of calendar when applying for leave; because sometimes it is a bit tricky to select the actual day in the month on the monthly view.
Reasons for switching to Leave Dates
I only need a standalone leave management system and this works. My previous supervisor was using a tracking sheet on Google Sheet but I didn't like how manual it is.

Beautiful wall chart, super intuitive staff scheduler app
Our firm was looking for an app that could visually show the location of each team member initially. What we found in LeaveDates was a vacation and leave tracker with approver capabilities and which we now also use to show which staff member is working on which project (lite version of a Gantt chart). Good ye Excel tables thank you LeaveDates! Excellent app and best value I found on a user/month cost basis.
PROS- Wall chart is beautiful and information rich - admin panel and approver mgmt user interface are simple and clear - generating reports is quick and effective - customer support has been excellent, the designer team even added a feature I requested within 5 days of my ask - so useful, our firm uses it for both leaves and project assignments - great android iOs app available with most features available for free - stat holidays built-in for all countries - fully customizable leave types and allowances per types - schedule can be edited up to the hour
CONS- no print option for wall chart - staff can edit or remove time entries once they are approved with no further request or approval
Reason for choosing Leave Dates
- wall chart - gorgeous colors - ease of use - ease of implementation - seamless communication with support team - excellent mobile companion app - not overly complicated like most apps I tried

Hey Edouard, we love the way you guys have embraced Leave Dates for all your scheduling needs. Thank you for taking the time to write this positive review and please do keep the new ideas coming in.

Excellent System exactly what we needed
Love the system, we are a Charity with a small amount of people but when I joint there was no holiday authorisation, good recording of holidays taken or what was left to take, they had a very complicated system until I found Leave dates, now its a lot more clearer for all staff and heads a like.
PROSHow easy it is to use, very visible for heads of departments to manage their staff.
CONSCustomisable Reports, sometimes the standard ones are just a little to restrictive for what we need. Toil is a little complicated to get you head around.
Reason for choosing Leave Dates
There was no other systems that I was looking at, the charity needed to look for a solution that was economical but really did the job, but not undervaluing what the system was designed for.

A great product, just needs a few tweaks!
It's really useful to be able to view when employees are on annual leave, taking time off, working remotely or working at events offsite.
CONSIt can be difficult to input the different pieces of information sometimes. It would be easier to just click and select the different options rather than having to send requests through each time. It's built for annual leave requests and the other features don't quite fit the mould - but it's getting there!
