I have a great experience using the pause in my slice organization as it is very user-friendly and convenient to be used. It has a great way of checking leaves and applying leaves. Hence, it is highly recommended for its overall features.

Overall experience is very good with pauses. It helps a lot in easily managing the attendance and time-off records of the employees. It has actually reduced the number of unexcused and unexpected leaves taken by the employees.We can know in advance about the availability of the employee for a particular date and time so it is easy to allocate the resources and manage expectations and deliverable timelines.
We Can easily track different types of leaves - Sick Leave, Casual Leave, Earned Leave, Excused Leave, and Unexcused Leave user-wise. For a single employee, I can easily check the number of leaves taken over a period.For a single employee, I can easily check the number of leaves taken over a period.
The number of possible leaves allocation for sick Leave, Casual Leave, Earned Leave, Excused Leave, and Unexcused is not obvious and not practical in some cases.

The ease of use and integration with slack. The app is quite intuitive.
The non-deductible leave types count weekends as part of the leave tally.

I found Pause to be generally intuitive and easy to use. The tool allowed me to submit leave requests and view my leave balance with ease. However, I did experience some lag when using the web version of the tool, which was frustrating at times. Despite this, the overall functionality of the tool was useful and efficient. I would recommend this tool to others, but with the caveat that they may experience some lag when using the web version.
It is simple to submit leave requests and check my leave balance. Love its integration with Slack.

I like that it makes for easy leave requests and provides easy updates to my team members regarding my leave.
I do not like that the pause website occasionally glitches or experiences massive bugs after I request leave. Generally, this is my only issue!

My overall experience in pause is awesome I can easily apply for leave and check which one is on leave through calendar . so on the basis of this I can plan something 1day leave or a trip
Everything in pause is awesome you can see your pending leave, you can see the birthday and work anniversary of other member , you can see how many sick, casual and earned leave is pending the calendar is awesome in pause
As a daily user in pause the thing I notice when a user apply for leave a notification ping on the approver system but anyhow he/she missed to see the notification so in that case pause should provide and reminder that remind the approver to approve or decline the leave.The employee don't go again and again to the approver to approve his leave.

Pause is a great leave management tool that gives employees and employers control over leaves. With this tool employers can manage unplanned leaves, and approves/disapprove them. For the employee, it's a tool to manage thier pending leave no matter whether it's sick leave or planned leave. It's slack support is a great addition.
The slack integration although great addition, is cumbersome to use on the channel. The notification system should give the leave approval messages on time.

I had a good overall experience with Pause's leave management system. I had an accurate way to track my leave time and balances thanks to the software, which was simple to use. I valued having access to my leave time from anywhere, and the online platform made it simple to request leave and receive management clearance.
I enjoyed how simple the leave tracking system made it to keep track of my vacation time. I could quickly check how much time I had remaining on my vacation, how many sick days I had collected, and when my next vacation was.
I occasionally ran into technical problems when utilising the Pause, including poor loading times or errors in the programme. Even while these problems were typically fixed quickly, they could be annoying and interfere with my job.

Pause application was very useful, as we were able to track each employees leave balance being admin and also useful for checking calendar if an employee applied leave or not.

In my experience, Pause has been an incredible gateway to apply for leaves with honesty. In a small/medium sized organisation where people might not have a dedicated portal to apply for leave, they end up hesitating a lot before speaking to their manager for leaves. I think this is a great solution for such organisations. But yeah, that reason visibility I mentioned earlier was an ick for me. One more issue was with the website, it is rare that I use your website to apply for leave (since i do it on slack) but whenever I tried to, the website simply didn't go past that apply confirmation button.
I like that the leave duration for half a day is available, but the feature that I like the most is the slack integration. Once I integrated Pause with Slack, I never had to leave my company's "ecosystem" to apply for a leave.
I don't like how on the website, the reasons are visible for everyone in the organisation. I believe it should only be visible to the manager. It'd be great if you could turn that visibility of reasons off by default and allow managers to choose whether or not to show the reason.

Great overall experience for leave and timeoffs usage.
Pause is really good at it's usage. The best feature of pause I found out was slack integration.There were a lot of times where I didn't even open the software portal. Most of the time, I just used it via slack. Have applied for several leaves and compoffs just through few clicks which I liked the most.
Whenever I opened the portal, I felt like it took a lot of time for bootstrap loading which made UI experience little bad for end user. I also felt like the member search functionality was also a little slow.
