Question

Personio Employee API: time and timezone

Hey, 

we are using the list employees API to get new joiners from the system in order to activate them in other tools. I read at some point that the change happens usually around 3-4 am in the morning and have scheduled my integration for that time. 
 

However I learned now, that the people are usually activated a day later (2nd day of the month) because no changes can be detected when I run the sync at 4am.
 

My questions: 

  • at what time exactly are employees activated in Personio? 
  • and: is this time UTC? UTC+1 or UTC+2

Looking forward to your reply!
