Hello there

I do encounter this behavior when using the Personio UI in my Browser. 

I will try to explain myself in a detailed manner:

 

As I am a lazy person, I do fill out my Personio Attendence only once a month. Therefore I go to the Personio UI in my Webbrowser and got to attendence. Then I select the first day of the month to add my worktime and breaktime and press "Save". Now the first day has a proper entry and shows three dots on top of the container. Clicking on these 3 dots give two options: 1. Copy Hours 2. Delete Day. If I press on Copy Hours I can copy the first day of the month to the entire month without the need of typing my worktime manually everyday.

Now this is what I have been doing for quite some time without running into any issues. But then one day I decided to take vacation after I already "autofilled" the month. So the day I wanted to take vacation on was already booked with worktime and my vacation time was also booked on the same day.

Personio allows to take vacation on a day where work time is also set without giving any error message or warning.

 

The weird thing is that it then counts as extra hours of work.

 

There should be some sort of system preventing this from happening in my opinion.

 

I hope this clarifies what issue I encounter.

Dear @meching123,

Welcome to the Personio Community, we are thrilled to see you here 🎊 🥳. I am happy to support you with your inquiry.

The behavior you describe is normal within Personio. On the moment, there is no notification for absence requests made for days in which there is attendance tracked. The attendance is tracked as overtime in this case, due to a configuration within the settings of absence types in your account. You can see more details about this functionality in our help center:

This functionality is normally activated for paid absences. The logic behind it is, that for a paid absence you receive your normal wage while you are absent, so if you work during these hours, these tracked time should not only count as normal wage, but as extra time. This way you receive your wage for the absence and for the hours worked. I hope this information clarifies the functionality a bit further.

I do understand why it would be useful to receive a notification when you request an absence on days in which attendance has already been tracked. I would like to encourage you to post this suggestion of improvement in our ideation area. This way, other users will be able to vote for it, and the suggestion will be shared with our product team. 

In order for us to fully understand your idea, I share with you a couple of questions that your description should clarify when posting in the ideation area: 

  • What would you like to achieve with Personio?  What issue do you need to solve?

  • Why? What would be the added value for you? 

  • How are you solving it right now? 

The more details, the better! However, remember not to share any personal or business data with the public. If we ever need more data from you, we will contact you by mail or by direct message in the community platform. 

Thank you in advance for sharing your ideas with us 🙌🏽. Please don’t hesitate to ask me any further question you might have about this topic. 

Best,

Andrea

I just created an idea for this as this is an issue for us as well. At the moment we only stumble upon those by accident.
