Dear Community,
As you might have already learned from our email about time management, we would like to give you tips for a successful start to 2026.
As your teams settle into the new year, now is the perfect moment to double‑check a few key Absence and Time Management settings to ensure everything runs smoothly for the year ahead.
Here are your recommended checks:
1) Review and adjust your carryover settings
If you want to add or remove carryover days from your employees’ current year’s balance or update expiry rules, now is a good time to ensure your policies match your internal guidelines: Edit carryover settings for time off
2) Report on remaining time off and entitlements
Check employees’ remaining balances and entitlements to see exactly what has carried over into 2026. To gain clear insights on how many vacation days employees carried over into 2026, use the classic report builder in your Analytics section to generate a Point-in-time report and add Paid vacation - carryover from previous year as an additional table column.
Soon, this will also be available in our new Report Builder for more flexibility and additional metrics. More info to come!
3) Set up reminders for carried-over vacation days
In Germany, organizations must inform their employees about expiring vacation days, otherwise the days are not officially allowed to expire. Use our workflow template to conveniently send an automatic reminder to your employees: Create a Reminder
Best,
Your Personio Team
