Hi,

I have a question regarding employee status in Personio.

Is it possible to convert an existing employee into a Member of the Board, so that:

  • the person remains visible in Personio (for documentation / organizational purposes),

  • but is not considered an active employee (no payroll, no time off, no operational access)?

Ideally, we would like to keep this person in the system as a Board Member without affecting headcount, reporting, or HR processes.

If this is possible:

  • what would be the recommended setup (e.g. custom employee status, role, or contract type)?

  • are there any limitations we should be aware of?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,
Anna
