Overtime payouts

Hi there,Not really a question but an observation: When I process a payout of overtime in Personio I get a message that “overtime was payed out successfully”. Can you change the “payed” to “paid”?The word payed exists but does not refer to a financial transaction. It is a nautical expression:Payed definition: Although it is sometimes applied as the past tense of pay, using payed for paid is not correct.That being said, there is a sense in which payed can be correct. In nautical terms, payed is the past tense of pay, meaning to use pitch as a seal to prevent leaks.For example:To make the boat seaworthy, a sailor payed the open creases between the planks with hot tar. (Past Tense Verb)Please avoid using the word payed for paid.Sorry to be picky, but it hits me in the face every time I pay out overtime 😯😪!Have a great day!Cheers,Linda

Specific profiles for external collaborators such as recruiting agencies or labor firms

Currently, in order to share information with an external collaborator you have to create a profile like any other employee and rescind their permissions. It would be very useful if these people had a different profile with basic information (email, name of the contact person, phone number, person within the organization with whom they are working directly...) in the documents section the collaboration agreement and a section for service costs instead of payroll. This would imply that they would not appear in the organization chart, or that the system would count them as one more employee in the total number of employees because it leads to confusion.

Gender diversity: Best practices in Recruitment and Employer brandingBlog Recruitment Female Talent Diversity Employer branding

IntroductionGender diversity is an important topic on today's HR agendas. A recent survey conducted by Glassdoor revealed that 76% of candidates consider diverse workforce a valuable component when they apply for a job. Furthermore, by diminishing biases in recruiting, companies have access to a bigger pool of talent, which ultimately would reduce the effects of the war of talent. The term “war for talent” – referring to the lack of skilled employees on the labor market – has become more and more prominent in Europe over the last couple of years. According to a McKinsey study from 1997, this war for talent would become not only a strategic business challenge but also a critical driver of corporate and financial performance. In the recession following the dot-com bubble, it was assumed that the war for talent would be over or at least recede – however, quite the contrary became reality. Because of the strengthening economy and the development of many former third-world countries, the wa

Is it in the future also possible to have another authenticator app that works for MFA/2FA for Personio?

Hi! My coworker is working with a new mobile phone. This means that we should also be able to install the MFA/2FA authenticator on this mobile phone. For Personio we've noticed it is a bit more difficult to get the authentication working on her new mobile phone. We also noticed that it is only possible to log in, in Personio, with the authenticator app of Google.Will it the future also be able to log in via the authentication app of Microsoft? And do you perhaps have a instruction how my collegue could have the log in of Personio in her authenticator app on her new mobile phone up and running again? For example, other applications where you need to log in with an authenticator app, you have a QR-code.
