Dear @FrederikeE,

Thank you very much for sharing your question with the community, I am happy to support you with this topic.

In order to block an absence period for all of your employees, you can upload an absence period either for the Absence type you have created for paid vacation, or for a new Absence type. 

If the upload is undertaken for the vacation Absence type, then the entitlement of your employees will be reduced. If this is not intended, then you can create a new Absence type for example Company holidays and upload the period for all of your employees. 

Don’t forget to grant Access rights to your employees, if you decide to create a new Absence type.

Please visit the following help center article to see all the steps for this setting:

Please let me know if this information was helpful, or if I can support you any further. 

In case you haven’t done so yet: it would be lovely if you could take two minutes to say Hi and introduce yourself here: it’s a great way to get started in the Community & meet other HR Professionals!

If you have any questions about Personio or ideas to share with the Community, feel free to create a new topic anytime. We are always listening .

I wish you an amazing day .
