Our managers and workforce were used to the Workday interface, so incorporating the Time and Scheduling hub made sense when we looked to update our absence management system. The ability to see at a glance who is clocked in (or not) as well as leave tracking makes it easy to use as a manager but also as an employee. We have heard positive feedback from our managers on accuracy, reporting, and ease-of use.

It is a Human Resource management system which helps in managing the hire to retire process of the total employee life cycle. It is a user friendly software for both HR as well as the employee. Overall the experince is quite nice but yes there are some issues with the mobile app on which they should work.

This product has a lot of capability in the beginning and offers various services all in one place. It's easy to reach the support team and get the necessary guidance, but specific contacts at the company constantly seem to turn over and leave, resulting in the need to rebuild the relationship with a new subject matter expert all over again.

We have been pleased with our move to the Pulpstream platform. We moved from Presagia, a software that was discontinued in 2024. After looking at several different vendors we selected Pulpstream for its UI and ease of use, functionality provided, and the price point. It was important for us to have file feeds for LOA and attendance records from our HRIS to Pulpstream, as well as a system that could run our company-level leave policies concurrently with Federal and State regulations. We also needed as system that would allow us to generate the monthly billing invoices for medical benefit premiums for our union employees. It has streamlined the entire process, given us many hours of transactional time back, and enabled us to keep the leave process in-house. This last item was also important to us. Outsourcing would not only have been more expensive, but also much less personal. When an employee or a family member is seriously ill, they should get a little handholding. Pulpstream helps us do just that.

AbsenceSoft has been a reliable tool for managing leave and accommodations. It's easy to use and helps streamline the process, ensuring compliance with regulations. Real-time reporting and customizable workflows are great features. The support and resources available make it worth the effort.

edays is a comprehensive leave management system and I am using this software for 3 years. While this app seems to broader capabilities, we use this primarily for leave/absence management. The software works well and is excellent for leave tracking for managers

Calamari is a rather simple and straightforward system that factors in various labor laws and custom leave policies per company. It's really nice to have leave requests and approvals occur in an automatic process flow. However, project tracking is rather limited and report customization is lacking as well.
