Employee referrals widget not showing on Homepage

Hi! I’m not sure if anyone else encountered the same issue. I enabled the Employee Referrals features and approved it on my homepage to show as a widget. However it’s not visible, neither for me or for my employees. Can anyone support? Many thanks!

Creation of partial day sick leave which would fill the rest of the day with sick leave status?

Description of the need:When person gets sick during the day and needs to leave the work… It would be helpful to have a possibility to create work type which would be e.g. partial day sick leave (we had this in our old HR system) Selecting this would fill the current day up till your expected hours with this partial day sick leave.Example:I am expected to work 7,5 hours After working for 3 hours I feel sick and need to leave home to rest I mark at this point partial day sick leave It would automatically fill up missing 4,5 hours with that work typeQuestion:Is there possibility to do such work type and if how in Personio? If there is not direct possibility to do such , what would be the closest solution? Thank you already beforehand

How to set up a workflow for employee training requests and approvals?

Hi everyone!I’m looking to create a streamlined workflow in Personio for managing employee training requests. Ideally, the workflow would include: Employee submits a training request (through Personio or a form integration) Approval flow – involving the direct manager and HR Cost tracking – linking costs to the employee profile and budget overview Automatic update to the Personio Training tab upon approval Digital Training Cost Agreement – sent to the employee for e-signature once approved Would love to hear how others have approached this, especially around automation and integration for smooth processing. Any best practices or tips would be appreciated!

One Time Compensation Change - Valid from & until

Hi All, For months now I have been using the Import section to import a Recurring Compensation (French Lunch Vouchers) and as the amount changes every month I use to import this every month with the Valid from and until dates. Now I can see that the recurring compensation doesn't allow me to put in a Valid Until date. As seen in the picture below, there is no field for Valid Until and also I cannot edit the From-Until section on the bottom. When I go to add the amount for June, it adds the amount from May and June as it does not have a field for me to end the May compensation. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you

Table view for documents update

Dear Community,Does anyone know when the promised table view for document will be launched / is it already active in your profiles? According to Personio, it was supposed to be in April:https://support.personio.de/hc/en-us/articles/25628975141149-Improvements-Document, but we can not see it yet.If you have it, can you share some experiences with it - is the signature status for documents now visible to more roles than only the Admin role?Thanks a lot for your input and have a lovely afternoon :)Moni

Absence types - assigned / unassigned

Dear Community, unfortunately I am back from my holiday to discover a change I really cannot comprehend.In order for people to have access to certain absence policies (like parental leave or unpaid leave and others) I now have to set up an accrual policy and assign it to the respective employees retroactively? I am really struggling to see why this is necessary and thus a needed change? Furthermore, when trying to assign such a policy in bulk I can only set up as starting date the 1st of January 2024 and not the hire date? But when I open each individual profile then I can set the hire date as the starting date (which would make the most sense, because all periods before 1st of January 2024 will be then changed/will disapper).I hope I am not the only one struggling with this and I am happy to hear any solutions around it! Thanks & BestRali

What's mental wellbeing got to do with it?

Why should employers take responsibility for the health and wellbeing of their employees? The law aside, which isn’t clear enough or enforced often enough, in my opinion, to what degree should an employer invest in promoting health and mental wellbeing in the workplace?I ask this, not as an academic, but because I can tire of the tick-boxing I witness when asked to deliver a mindfulness taster for a workforce, who need a lot more than 2 hours of meditation. I ask this, because it is too easy to skim over the centrality of a person’s mental health in their reason for being, which by the way, is not to be productive...rather to be sentient, engaged, creative. When we exercise these human needs and skills, the fruits of our creativity can lead to innovation, excellence and profitability. Oh, and I forgot, to happiness. Many businesses cover their base by ensuring a minimum number of mental first aiders, who, as a result of the training, possess a rudimentary knowledge of mental health dia

Why a thoughtful re-induction plan matters for Parental Returners - or does it?

At a recent workplace wellbeing event, I had some brilliant conversations with HR leaders about parental support. I was encouraged to see just how many people wanted to better support their working parents and returners. But....I wasn’t surprised to hear how many felt unsure about the how.From all the companies i spoke to I saw that the intention was there but the action plan wasn’t. So I thought I’d help with a few learnings and insights from my work, but I’d be keen to hear if you agree/disagree:A common misconception I see is that treating returners “just like everyone else” will help them feel included. It sounds supportive but in fact it misses the mark: We don’t want them to 'slot back in like nothings' changed ' - because it has. Parenthood shifts your priorities, perspectives, and your sense of self - but it also sharpens key skills: resilience, emotional intelligence, time management, strategic thinking (I could go on… and I often do!).In fact, it makes you even more skilled a

Addendum/or new contract for new role

Hi Community, Currently we have an employee that might change to a Team Lead role. This person has a permanent contract and we are wondering if we can offer this employee something like an addendum or new contract to make sure we have a bit of a probation/trial period.How do you usually do this in your company?

0-hour day doesn't show on the team calendar, hot to fix this?

Hi all, When tracking one or more days as 0-hour days these don't show up as such on the team calendar. Colleagues are not able to see that this person was, is, or will be absent that/these day(s).I made sure that all corresponding work schedules’ settings are as suggested:"Calculate overtime" setting is set to daily Both "Track deficit hours" and "Deduct hours daily if no time is tracked" settings are active.Does anyone have a solution to this issue? Thanks!

Community Question: What did you do before HR? 🤔

One of the things I am very interested in learning about is how people got into HR. We’ve had some lovely stories from some of our community members, like Zoe and Nina. I’m curious about everyone else here as well! Have you always wanted to work in HR? Or, perhaps, was there some other field, some other line of work you were in?What were you doing before making the leap to HR? And how did you get here? Can’t wait to read your stories!
