Our valuable Customers

Cians Analytics

Cians Analytics has been using PlanMyLeave.com since 2016. After proper deliberation and considering various other solutions to meet our day-to-day HR requirements, we chose PlanMyLeave for our company. The initial requirement was to help manage all leave-related matters, including annual leave calendar, current and future leave balances, etc.

Following the success we had with PlanMyLeave.com, we integrated their other product offerings of ProjectToolBelt and SnowHR.

ProjectToolBelt allows us to generate and track Custom Project Codes along with various project related details. This information can be searched and exported in easily editable Excel format, which further allows ease of work. When integrated with SnowHR we were able to record details of the efforts our employees make on an assigned project, which gives us access to a comprehensive picture on the hours clocked against each client on a daily, monthly, and annual basis. This further helps us with invoicing the client effectively.

The support provided by the team is excellent; all our issues are quickly addressed, which results in minimum downtime. Furthermore, the pricing of the services meets our expectations.

George Washington University

George Washington University, Foggy Bottom Campus implemented PlanMyLeave for its Division of Operations - comprising of nearly 500 staff in July 2013.

Eric Hougen, Director, Technology and Information Management was entrusted with finding a solution for managing PTO, Sick, Jury Duty, FMLA and other leave types for its exempt and non-exempt staff. The HR executives wanted reports for integrating with payroll. Eric had some unique requirements for the University staff- their Leave year begins on the1st of July, leave accruals are based on anniversary dates and prorated midyear when the employee completes certain years of tenure. PlanMyLeave's comprehensive leave management settings fulfilled all his requirements. Eric and the HR team is pleased with PlanMyLeave and here is their testimonial.

"Before the George Washington University Division of Operations implemented PlanMyLeave, leave management was accomplished using triplicate forms and data entry into a narrowly available database. Paid leave is one of the most important benefits to our employees and making it convenient to request leave and view leave balances really helps make the Division of Operations a great place to work. The transition from the paper-base method to the electronic method occurred really smoothly even though many of our employees don't regularly use computers. Our supervisors really like the product as well. They can easily see who already been approved for leave when considering new applications to ensure adequate staffing every day. They can click through approvals on their smartphone while waiting for the bus. It really was an instant winner with this group. From a record keeping standpoint, we've been able to extend view privileges to our human resources staff, enabling them to quickly produce reports or calculations necessary to process a variety of HR actions. It's been a pleasure to work with the PlanMyLeave team before and after the implementation. They helped me translate our leave policies and accrual rates into the proper PlanMyLeave configuration and stay in touch to point out new features that fit GWU's environment. I recommend PlanMyLeave to any organization seeking to improve their efficiency and employee satisfaction with an online leave management solution."

De Lautours.co

De Lautours.co is an accounting firm in Te Awamutu, New Zealand. Stuart Yarndley, the Business Manager was looking for a specialized online leave management solution that would fit the needs of his firm and adhere to New Zealand's government policies on leave. He found the best fit in PlanMyLeave. Here is what Stuart has to say about his experience with PlanMyLeave.

"We have been using PlanMyLeave since March 2014 after being with another provider. We are a small accounting firm in New Zealand and originally had paper based system for leave. We found this difficult for the team and ourselves to keep track on who was on leave etc., especially when anyone in the team was wanting to apply for leave. We found an internet leave based system which we used prior to coming to PlanMyLeave, but after approximately 12 months and many attempts, their system couldn’t replicate what we do in NZ around sick leave – which is that the leave allocation doesn’t start until 6 months after commencement date and then is renewed every 12 months from the allocation date (not the persons start date). We also work that people can take leave in advance, so we wanted a system that could handle that as well. As we run our payroll in another system it was important that although planMyLeave and our payroll system weren’t linked, the holiday hours were the same in both systems. PlanMyLeave was able to make the tweaks to their system to accommodate the way our sick leave worked in NZ as well as our team being able to use accruing leave rather than waiting for it to become available leave. Another functionality that we really like was the emailing that happened when leave was applied for so the person who approved the leave was notified and the person who applied for the leave was also notified of the result."

Rimes Technologies Corporation

Rimes Technologies Corporation is a US based company with more than 160 employees working out of 10 locations around the world. RIMES Managed Data Services helps financial institutions improve quality and reduce costs of ownership risk. When Rimes first approached us in late 2013, they were looking for an absence management solution that was quick to set up and would accommodate the leave types and policies specific to each location that the HR Team manages– ranging from Boston, London, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Nicosia, Shanghai, Sydney and Toronto. They have more than 25 leave types and 57 leave policies for these locations put together that are managed by the HR Team. Leave approvers and overtime approvers sit in different locations. Those who work weekends or overtime are entitled to get compensatory Time off in Lieu. The HR Team continuously monitors the staffing position and Department Heads are given visibility into team calendars. When contacted for their feedback on PlanMyLeave, Global HR Officer Astrid Lambert and HR Executive Stephanie Soto were both equivocal in their response. Astrid said

"PlanMyLeave has been a helpful tool for us. We have seen many improvements in the system over the course of the year that we have used PML, and are overall happy with the portal. The tool is easy to use. The reminder of the policy is useful. It is fairly user friendly for the HR team to manage. Our employees find it easy to navigate as well. The support is good. When we have question, they respond quickly and call to additional information, if necessary."

Stephanie Soto, HR Executive at the Rimes New York office shared her views on the support she receives from PlanMyLeave.

"PML support is great. We typically get a helpful response within one business day with the answers that we need. There were a few challenges with setting up a new employee as there are several important steps to remember to complete. For example, when setting a new hire balance, you have to go the "engine balance" for it to be correct for that specific year. I feel these are additional steps that maybe in the future can be automated. Managing different countries with different rules is challenging. We have seen many system improvements from our implementation at the beginning of the year in 2014. "

When we contacted Raghu Shenoy, the CEO of the company who was the decision maker, he said

"We were looking for a basic HR system and the only requirement was that we hold some essential personal details, be able to attach some scanned documents to each staff record and manage our leave. I evaluated a few systems – ZOHO HR, Just Login and PlanMyLeave. I really liked PlanMyLeave as it ‘ticked all the boxes’ in our requirements and at the same time was simple and intuitive to use. The hand holding by your support team when we started our implementation was excellent and we were able to go live in a matter of a few days. We are happy with our choice!"

PlanMyLeave is used by our customers for tracking leaves of all staff in the company. It acts as a centralized repository of employee information that is accessible anywhere and anytime.It helps them comply with HR regulations and the self service dashboard gives the employees a easy platform to record and see their leave balances easily.

Wirsam is a 45 year old laboratory equipment supply company with 50 staff in branches around South Africa. Here is what Alex the General Manager of the company has to say of his experience with OnlineStaffLeavePlanner.

"We were looking for a solution which would allow us to move away from a paper based leave system and would allow users to apply for leave online and be able to see their leave status at any time without having to ask HR. We found OnlineStaffLeavePlanner on Google and signed up with them for an evaluation first. We found that the leave software could adapt to our company's leave policies and we could track leaves online. We like the fact that users can apply for leave from wherever they are without having to fill in paper forms. The system gives a good overview of everyones leave. Using the Log absences feature we are able to log those who did not turn up for work and have not applied for leave earlier. The set up was relatively easy and most of the work was done by the Support Team of OnlineStaffLeavePlanner. The ongoing support is excellent - we get very fast feedback. They are willing to listen and implement suggestions which is a huge positive for the team. Overall we are very happy to have chosen OnlineStaffLeavePlanner."

Zurich Instruments

Zurich Instruments, founded in 2008, is a fast growing technology leader developing and selling advanced test & measurement instruments for dynamic signal analysis. Adrian Messmer, Senior Development Manager was entrusted with the job of selecting a leave management tool for his company. This is what he has to say about his assignment and why he chose OnlineStaffLeavePlanner over other leave management tools that he evaluated.

"Beginning of 2013, the company decided to introduce a leave management tool and started to evaluate different providers. OnlineStaffLeavePlanner was selected as the preferred tool for several reasons. It offers a wide range of configurable features at a very reasonable price. Finally, the number one selling argument was the excellent customer service which we experienced. During the evaluation phase, Zurich Instruments identified some requirements which the tool was not yet able to address. We are very impressed about the reactivity and speed with which the support team is closing those gaps, not only before the launch at Zurich Instruments, but still today. We always face an open attitude and positive spirit when proposing improvements. Therefore, we are happy to recommend OnlineStaffLeavePlanner to any other company that needs to introduce a leave management tool."

Eurocross Turkey

Our first customer from Turkey approached us with a request - he wanted the interface to be selected by the end user - Turkish or English. Government regulations stipulate that employees should be aware of their leave rules and language should not be a barrier in knowing them. We implemented a framework whereby we can add a new language with the translation and have it operational in a few days. We have also made settings for creating email templates with mail merge fields using which you can customize the emails sent to your staff in for different locations. They can be created in different languages or different versions - so you can have one in Spanish for California and one in Spanish for your Madrid branch. Evrim Çavdar from Eurocross was very prompt and co-operative in giving us the translation which speedened up the language implementation at our end. Now we are ready to take on any language from anywhere in the world! Greek or Latin, Arabic or Japanese we are ready. Here is what Evrim from EuroCross Turkey has to say about his experience with Planmyleave.

"We had recently ended our service agreement with regards to leave management system due to high cost and had been looking for alternatives. After doing an online search we found various options and tested 3 different systems. It became quickly clear that PlanMyLeave was by far the simplest to use yet highly customizable to fit all of our needs including a Turkish interface, which PlanMyLeave provided to us within a few weeks even though it was not initially available.

We’ve been using the system for a while now and as an HR Manager, I could not be happier on its functionality. I was amazed on the capabilities and customizing options. It is easy to use, so much so that our employees basically did not need training on how to use the system. It has also taken off a big load off me in terms of keeping track, reporting and legal compliance. All this at a fraction of the cost of our previous system!

Last but not least, I can not end without giving credit to their customer service. Highly attentive, patient, friendly and timely, we always had a great experience. All our questions were answered in detail and issues resolved quickly.

It is not easy to come by a company that provides an excellent product and a superior customer service at a very reasonable price. PlanMyLeave has very successfully combined all three. "

"We have been using PlanMyLeave now for about 2 months, but had researched the features for quite a while before we decided to try it out. Even though our staff is small, we still have the needs of any larger company and were in great need of a reliable, easy to access and self-running system. What we found with PlanMyLeave was the ability to customize, great ease of use, ability to handle complicated leave adjustments and many features we had not even known we needed! The interface is extremely easy to use, the knowledge base is vast and almost every scenario is explained and able to be researched quickly. When we have had a question, it was answered promptly and thoroughly. We really cannot say enough good things about PlanMyLeave and would recommend its versatility to anyone looking for a good web based leave management system." Thank you again!!
