While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more
To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Does what it says on the tin. What would make it better would be able to create a list of people to notify rather than having to add them for each and every absence.

How is it possible to have 6.29 days vacation? What does that even mean?
is it 29 minutes? or is it 0.29 of a day?

Vacation balances are calculated proportionally based on when the allowance starts, which can lead to fractional values. These can be easily adjusted or rounded by an admin. If your admin needs help with the setup, they’re welcome to reach out to our support team.

I'm overall satisified with the service but there are some UX issues which can slow down the daily usage.
I know that "some issues" is not a help but I'm currently too tired to give you details but didn't want to skip the review just because it asked for a description:)
