Excellent Rules Based Leave Management Software

We have been using Leavewizard for over 5 years. It has saved us endless amounts of admin time. Staff know where they stand with holidays, sick and appointment bookings. We have found the Leavewizard team to be very responsive when we have needed extra help. Easy to implement, easy to use, value for money.

Pros

We have found Leavewizard to be straight forward to implement. Our staff are comfortable using it to book leave online or via the app. We need to provide a set level of care to support our users. This means we need to manage leave carefully to ensure we have the correct level of resourcing. Leavewizard uses rules to allow us to automate the process. Staff know when they can take leave 24/7 and the approvers and administrators don't have to waste time checking if adequate staffing levels are maintained. Easy to use reporting to get a view across the whole organisation and the ability to download data to Excel for those times when we need more sophisticated reporting.

Cons

The App needs further development to provide the same functionality as is available through a web browser.

Highly recommend the product.

My experience at all levels has been positive. Especially the very few times I've had to request help from their product support, I can't say enough about the level of responsiveness and commitment from the LW team. I am in a different time zone from them (USA v UK) and I've never noticed it. They have stayed on any problem until it has been resolved. This is the right answer for leave management if you want to have something light weight, easy to use and even easier to deploy.

Pros

LW is an easy to use product right out of the box. We have been using LW for a few years now to manage our global team and it could not be easier. I like that I can have multiple leave programs for my teams as each locality has different leave requirements so each workflow and holiday program can be customized to our needs without the staff seeing any differences. The dashboard is great, you can manage your workforce in one place and the user experience has always been positive.

Cons

Over the years they have made so many amazing improvements to the software that I can't find anything to say I did not like about it. They listen to their customers and make the changes needed.

Easy to use for staff with a consistent schedule

Pros

Easy to use for staff that work a consistent schedule. Good for employees to input holiday and types of leave

Cons

It could be improved for staff that work inconsistent days (e.g. retail staff that work different days every week). We currently can't use this product for our retail store staff

Good, customer service always happy to help particularly [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN].

Pros

The app is great, that we are all internet based and no paperwork, I like the groups so that each team can only see each others leave. Easy to use and navigate. User friendly no training required for individual staff.

Cons

I would like this to tie in with our clocking system as we currently run to sets of software alongside each other so have to float between the two daily as they both have separate info in that I need.

Leavewizard

Much simpler to book and manage holidays than a paper system. Much more efficient to provide management and payroll reports.

Pros

Ease of use for booking holidays, very simple for end user. Customer support is very good.

Cons

Some bugs that occasionally pop up. Fairly complicated to set up and amend holiday entitlement annually - this is at least partly our fault for a complicated holiday entitlement system and LW have offered to carry out the adjustments for us.
