Hi @PaulaM 

Welcome to the Personio Community, we are thrilled to see you here 

For employees to be able to see Absence types, please ensure you set up the relevant access rights for this Absence type. You will need to grant the necessary employee the right to view this Absence type or even Propose or Edit. This can be done in Settings > Employee roles >  the relevant role > Access rights > Absence. Please see this article below for more information on managing employee roles:
​ Creating and Managing Employee Roles

Then if the Absence type has Accrual policies enabled then you will need to ensure employees also have an Accrual policy assigned to them, this article below runs through how to do this:

Assign Accrual Policies

Lastly the screenshot you included of the Company calendar settings is for a different part of Personio, this refers to this section seen below:

Please see this article below for some more information on this section:

 Configure and Manage Access to the Company Calendar

If you continue to have any issues with this set up I would recommend reaching out to my colleagues from the support team will be able to log in into your account, check the settings together with you, and also verify if the topic might involve a system error. You can contact my colleagues from the support team via Find Answers. Be aware that only Contract and Account owners can contact our support team. In case you are not registered as such, please contact your colleagues in the role, or add this information in your account. You can find out how here.

I hope you have a lovely weekend 

All the best, 

Erica
