All Performance cycles closed

Today, we found out that all our ongoing cycles were closed (not by us). Is there any reason why it happened, and is there any way to open them back?

Reopening a closed performance feedback cycle, closed involuntarily

We had two active review cycles in Personio launched on 4th November. Today they suddenly appear closed without us doing anything. There seems to be a reoccurring issue at Personio currently with the launch of some new feature?  We urgently need someone at Personio to "reopen" the existing cycles.Fixing this bug is super time sensitive for us is that we have a very tight deadline with reviews coming up  on 18th November - people are extremely anxious about their bonus payments tied directly to this review cycle. It is imperative this is fixed asap in order for us not to churn as customers. I appreciate these things happen but I have had to contact Personio through personal contacts in order to make sure this gets addressed in the speed we need it. Writing here for other users to get visibility on the situation.Thank you

Current Cycle Closed.... And Dynamic Cycle Isn't Showing....

We’re currently going through our EOY Reviews here with many employees having submitted it (which as we all now a struggle in itself to get folks to complete), and the review cycle just closed with no option to enable it. I understand there’s an update, but it’s not even showing up on our end… I’m pretty shocked that we’re paying for a service that didn’t automatically export these reviews OR have the new review cycle ready to go when the last one was disabled.

Upgrade and rollout of Performance Review Cycles

We’re thrilled to share that, as of yesterday, the rollout of Personio’s new Dynamic Cycle Builder is nearly complete! Now, 98% of customers can access and use the upgraded builder.As previously communicated, with this upgrade your open cycles have been closed. However, any draft or submitted reviews are still accessible for their authors via the feedback tab.Here’s how the new Dynamic Cycle Builder supports you to create more flexible Performance Review Cycles:Quick and Easy Setup: Set up a review cycle in a few clicks with an intuitive workflow. More Precise Participant Selection: Tailor groups with powerful filters to include exactly who you need. Ready for Changes: Dynamic updates let you respond to employees joining, leaving, or changing roles mid-cycle, while flexible settings let you edit live cycles when needed.We designed the Dynamic Cycle Builder in collaboration with many of you and hugely value this participation, and, we also thank you for your patience through the upgrade

E-signatures before integration into the company-system

Hey all,I marked the post as a question but this topic may also be debatable depending on the answers. So the company I work for has automated contracts for new employees, wanting to use the E-Signature feature. But the employees cannot sign the contract digitally with or without the account. They have to be integrated into the system for them to be able to even sign anything digitally. Are there any ways around this problem or maybe even a solution?

Negative Changes to Personio

We’ve recently had a UI update on Personio.But with it have come a number of function changes that have made on-boarding much worse.Starting with the removal of drag and drop to upload documents into onboarding.Over the course of 1 person onboarding for us, we drag and drop upwards of 80 documents (references, emails, id docs, etc) Now, in order to save an email to an onboarding we have to drag and drop it into our web-browser, which will trigger it to download and save to our downloads folder. We then have to click on the Browse button, then go to downloads, then the file.So what was a simple drag, drop, done - is now a drag, drop, click 4 buttons, done.Adding an extra 10-15 seconds per document.x80 documents x10+ people a month = 2-3 HOURS!!! of added time Then there is also the removal of the “Mark to Complete” button when you’ve uploaded everything necessary.Previously we would complete uploads and click one button to mark complete.Now you have to go back, click the traffic light,

Question Regarding Date Format Support in Personio Get employee API and Dashboard

Hello,I noticed that the Personio system currently supports only a single date format on the dashboard (DD/MM/YYYY), while the API returns dates in the YYYY-MM-DD format. Does Personio only allow a single date format for date-type attributes, or is there a way to assign multiple formats?Could someone from the Personio team confirm if there are any plans to support multiple date formats in both the API and dashboard, or if there might be a workaround available?"Thank you for any clarification!

Employee Data Protection

Hello Community,I have a question about data protection in Personio:In addition to informing our employees about the use of Personio, do we also need to ask for their consent or have them sign something?We're currently not sure about this.The moderator translated the post. See original message belowHallo Community,ich habe eine Frage zum Datenschutz in Personio:Müssen wir unsere Mitarbeiter neben der Information zur Nutzung von Personio auch beispielsweise nach Ihrer Zustimmung fragen oder sie unterschreiben lassen?Da sind wir uns aktuell noch nicht sicher

Reminders or worfklows triggered by employee age

Hello Personio Community,I want to send a reminder or workflow that notifies us if employees turn certain age based on their Birthday attribute. Is that possible?I could set a reminder based on it, but it’s triggered every year and this is not what we want. We also don’t want to create an age attribute as this would require constant updating. I was wondering if anyone has any advice.Many thanks,Aleksandra

Process & checklist for topics like unpaid leave

Hi everyone, I was wondering whether, in addition to the on- and offboarding checklists, it would also be possible to create other process as well as checklists for longer absences, for example maternity leave or unpaid leave. I found a similar question that was asked about a year ago. Perhaps there will be an update on this. Maybe you know something about it? :) I look forward to hearing from you! Best regards,Jasmin

Employees created twice! How do I get him out again?

The employee was created via Recruiting. This is how he appeared in payroll accounting. But not under the heading ‘Employees’. He was created there manually. Now the employee appears twice in payroll accounting. The account created via Recruiting cannot be deleted. This account is the real problem! Who can help?

Performance Cycles Without Due Date

Hi, after the recent update to the Performance area, I can't find an option to leave the due date unset for a cycle. This feature is especially useful for Probation Period cycles, which we conduct for all new employees, as we need no deadline (or a flexible deadline) rather than a fixed due date.Is there a way to leave this field blank or to input a null value?

Workflow and notification for the consecutive paid leave more than certain days.

Hi all,I would like to create a workflow to notify the supervisor that they should appoint someone as back up when his/her team member asks for the “paid leave” for more than certain days.I know there has a similar workflow for consecutive days, but it is only for sick leave. If I choose “an absence exceeds limit” as a trigger, it means the absence days are the accumulated days, not a consecutive days, right?Thanks.

Unable to View Bulk Employee Profile Update Approval Requests

Hi, dear Perosnio community!I'm experiencing an issue with viewing approval requests for employee profile updates:Employees are updating their information as requested via Reminders Workflow and these updates require admin approval. However, there is no centralized way to view all pending approval requests.We can only see pending approvals by checking each employee's profile individually (not at the homepage etc.) What is the location of the central dashboard/view for all pending profile update approvals? How to access all pending profile update approvals? Thank you!

Issue with Holiday Approval Assignments

Hi !I'm facing an issue where our CTO is receiving tasks to approve holiday requests for employees who are not assigned to him. These employees have their own supervisors, who are correctly assigned in the system. I've set the workflow for absence approval to be handled by their direct supervisors. However, the CTO, who is not even part of this pillar or department, keeps getting these approval tasks.I have double-checked the organizational chart and the assignments, and everything seems to be set up correctly. The CTO shouldn't be involved in this process at all. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue, or could there be something I’m missing in the workflow or org chart configuration?Any insights would be greatly appreciated!Best regards,Anna
