Hey @Beat, 

With every employee profile that is created a Personio ID is created along with it. However, this ID is for internal use and is not to be used as an Employee ID, because it can be subject to change. We always recommend that customers create a custom attribute called Employee ID and use our bulk import function to upload these ID’s into multiple employee profiles at once. 

Once created, you can mark this custom attribute as a Unique Id by going to Settings > Employee Information > ( navigating to the section which contains the attribute ) > Clicking on the Unique Id checkmark box > Clicking on Save. 

Unfortunately there is no functionality on Personio at the moment that would allow for automatic ID creation with the addition of a new employee profile. Therefore you will need to manually enter this number for each new employee. 

I hope I was able to answer your question, however I am happy to assist further.

Best,

Conor

Hi @Beat, FYI: The title of your question was “Employer ID”. I changed it to “Employee ID” in order to avoid confusion, as the latter is the correct name.  :)
