Hi Community,

we are wondering whether there is a solution to display public holidays as absence in Outlook? 

Our employees are distributed across different regions in Germany and Europe, so being able to see whether someone is off due to a public holiday would make collaboration a lot easier. 

Thank you!

 

Hi @Veronika,

​​​​​​Unfortunately public holidays will not be transferred with the calendar integration. Instead what you can do is pull an iCal link which allows you to pull data about the public holidays from the Personio Absence Calendar. You can then transfer them into your personal calendar for tracking purposes.
 
To do this, please follow the guide attached below:

 
Only one URL link for each calendar can be created at once. The public holiday calendar available to export will depend on the Office that the employee profile is assigned to (Each Office has a public holiday calendar assigned).
 
If you want to export all the public holiday calendar, you will need to log in as a random employee assigned to one Office and export the public holiday calendar. Repeat this action as many times as Offices/ public holiday calendars there are.

Hello,

Is there in the meanwhile a direct solution by Personio?

This would be helpful to have a direct possibility to transfer the public holidays to the outlook calendar. With the vacation days this works really great. Especially as we do have employees from different Bundesländer and countries it is quite difficult to keep the overview. Our employees mainly work with outlook scheduling meetings. Therefore they should be aware about when who is off due to a public holiday.

You suggested to submit an idea for a new feature, but I couldn’t find this.

I am looking forward to your reply. 

Best,

Nicole


Hi ​@Nicole Möhres,

Through the iCal links, you can then transfer your Public Holidays from the Personio Absence Calendar into your personal calendar for tracking purposes.

This article might be helpful for more instructions ➡️ Add a Personio Calendar via an iCal link

 But keep in mind that the public holiday calendar available for export will be determined by the Office to which the employee creating the iCal link is linked, as each Office might have a different public holiday calendar assigned.

We recently updated the way you can share your feedback and ideas with us!

Now you can use the new ‘Give feedback’ feature directly in your Personio account, and submissions will be forwarded directly to the relevant product teams - you can find more information in this community post.

If there is an update in this area, you will be informed through our Personio Product Updates or via an in-app notification.

I hope this helps!

Cheers,

Valentina ⛄️
