An employee booking holiday problem

Hi everyone I’ve set up an employee on a different holiday policy as she’s on varied hours through the week.  So I’ve set it up as hours.  However, although everything else looks the same as any other employee she’s getting the attached when she tried to book holiday.  It says “sorry couldn’t retrieve your data” I must have done something wrong but no idea what!  Any ideas please?

Changing Working Pattern

Hi Everyone, I have a staff member who works a 28 hour week. She has a 5 week working pattern, e.g week 1, 28 hours over 4 days, week 2 28 hours over 5 days, week 3 28 hours over 5 days but different working hours per day than week 2. Currently I have her AL in hours calculated over 5 days, and her working pattern set up as 5 hours 35 mins per day. This is fine where she takes a full week’s leave - it deducts 28 hours from her balance. On the days, however, where she works a full day, e.g 9 to 5 (7 hours) and wants to take the afternoon off, e.g 2 to 5, she is unable to do do, as her working day is set up as 5 hours and 35 minutes., from 9 to 2.35. Is there any way to add a 5-week working schedule in the background? I can see there is the option to add 4 weeks for the schedule which I will try, and would help but can an additional week be added?

Time tracking for working students

Hi again :)We've enabled the clock in/clock out profile for our working students in the time tracking system. However, they can still manually enter their time. We want working students to only use the clock in/clock out function, not manual entry. How can we disable the manual time entry option for them?Thanks in advance :) Berat

Home office policy setup

Hi everyone,I would like to set up the home office policy for the employees. The employees have 100 days/year for HO, which means 8 days/month. This number of days is applied monthly, and if the employees don’t use them, these days will be forfeited. However, Personio keeps adding on the unused HO days from previous months to the next month and cause confusion for the employees.Is it possible to have Personio allowed 8 days HO every month and not adding up days to the next month?Thank you & Good day

0-hour day doesn't show on the team calendar, hot to fix this?

Hi all, When tracking one or more days as 0-hour days these don't show up as such on the team calendar. Colleagues are not able to see that this person was, is, or will be absent that/these day(s).I made sure that all corresponding work schedules’ settings are as suggested:"Calculate overtime" setting is set to daily Both "Track deficit hours" and "Deduct hours daily if no time is tracked" settings are active.Does anyone have a solution to this issue? Thanks!

Creation of partial day sick leave which would fill the rest of the day with sick leave status?

Description of the need:When person gets sick during the day and needs to leave the work… It would be helpful to have a possibility to create work type which would be e.g. partial day sick leave (we had this in our old HR system) Selecting this would fill the current day up till your expected hours with this partial day sick leave.Example:I am expected to work 7,5 hours After working for 3 hours I feel sick and need to leave home to rest I mark at this point partial day sick leave  It would automatically fill up missing 4,5 hours with that work typeQuestion:Is there possibility to do such work type and if how in Personio? If there is not direct possibility to do such , what would be the closest solution? Thank you already beforehand

Absence types - assigned / unassigned

Dear Community, unfortunately I am back from my holiday to discover a change I really cannot comprehend.In order for people to have access to certain absence policies (like parental leave or unpaid leave and others) I now have to set up an accrual policy and assign it to the respective employees retroactively? I am really struggling to see why this is necessary and thus a needed change? Furthermore, when trying to assign such a policy in bulk I can only set up as starting date the 1st of January 2024 and not the hire date? But when I open each individual profile then I can set the hire date as the starting date (which would make the most sense, because all periods before 1st of January 2024 will be then changed/will disapper).I hope I am not the only one struggling with this and I am happy to hear any solutions around it! Thanks & BestRali

Synchronizing Outlook "Absence Calendar" with Personio – Possible?

Hi everyone,We're currently reviewing how Personio interacts with Microsoft 365, specifically regarding the handling of employee absences. The existing setup works well: absences requested in Personio are properly synchronized with each employee's Outlook calendar.However, we’re exploring a slightly different workflow:Goal:Employees would enter their absence directly in their Outlook calendar by booking a shared resource calendar (e.g., “Absence Calendar”). This calendar would act as a central overview of all team absences.Question:Is there a way to have entries from this shared Outlook calendar automatically reflected as absences in Personio?From what we’ve tested and understood so far, Personio requires each absence to be manually submitted by the employee within Personio itself, and resource calendars cannot be used to generate absences.We’ve heard this may have worked differently in the past, so we’re curious: Has anyone successfully implemented a similar workflow? Are there any

Monthly work schedule registration

Hello,We need to upload the generated PDF document of the time record monthly, as it's a legal requirement. Is there a way to upload the documents in bulk? We've tried saving them with Idemployee_name_firstname_category_date, but it doesn't work; it asks us to validate them one by one. Has anyone managed to do this? How?

Working hours for working student Germany

Hi there, The working hours concerns working student as they are paid hourly. A working student raised a question that when he enters a sick day or vacation in his Personio calendar, the tracked hours reduce and show up under Time Off. It is fine to show up the absence in Time Off but it should not reduce the tracked hours as this sick leave or vacation is a paid day.  Could you please let me know if there is something I should change in the calendar or it is set up by Personio this way? Kind regards,MK

Private projects

Hi, Can I create projects related to time tracking that are visible only to specific users? For example, if I want to create projects specifically for our IT team, is there a way to make them visible only in the IT team’s time tracking view?

Unable to view 'Overtime' function under attendance/time tracking

Hi, I have an issue with not being able to view the overtime function for one of my staff members. I recently allocated a new AL policy to them, and the currently TOIL policy stands. Their manger also got a new AL policy but I can see their overtime function. What do I need to do here?

Remove 'Request' option in absence type Remote Work

We have three Remote Work absence types: Working From Home, On training/At a conference, and Traveling. This is purely for others to know where people are during the week for planning purposes. However, when our co-workers want to register these absence types in their calendars, they get the options to either ‘Skip Approval’ or to ‘Request’ the absence. I’ve checked, but ‘Requesting’ does not send the request to the supervisor….it automatically approves it, as does ‘Skip Approve’, so actually the ‘Request’ button is a bit misleading. Is there a way to remove this?

Absence - only taking carryover days if less days have been taken

Hello, So we have a flexible holiday policy which is making it a nightmare for me to figure this out in Personio. On our contracts we have 25 days you can take but in reality people take 28-30 (And this is completely fine!). But what is happening now is that Personio is ‘deducting’ the extra days from the new year so if someone took 3 days more than 25, then now they have 24 hours less that they can take in the new year. Is there a way I can prompt that only if people take less than 25 days that it is carried over into the new year and not the surplus? Please let me know!

Time Off – "Validity On" Restriction for Different Countries

Hi everyone,I’m facing a challenge with the "Validity On" section in Time Off, as it restricts us from configuring different leave policies for different countries. For example, in some countries, annual leave is calculated based on calendar days, while in others, it’s based on working days.Ideally, this setting should be moved from the "Type" field to the "Add New Accrual Policy" section to allow for better international policy management. Right now, users see numerous leave types that are irrelevant to their country (e.g., a user in Zambia might see leave types meant for Ukraine).Has anyone found a workaround for this, or is there an update planned to improve this functionality?Looking forward to your insights!

Approval Process for Holidays – HR Visibility

Dear Personio Community,I would like to ask if there is a possibility to set up an approval process for holiday requests that allows HR to have visibility over all requests, even if we are not directly part of the approval chain. The goal is to ensure that all requests are processed and accepted on time without necessarily adding an extra approval step for HR.Is there a way to configure this within Personio, such as through notifications, reports, or a dashboard view? Any insights or best practices would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Anna

How to request 30-50% sick leave?

Hi @here, is there any improvement on how to register a period of sick leave on Personio absence calendar if the doctor’s cert states 30 or 50% per day for 2-3 weeks? It would be very useful to have a solution for that since it happens often that the employee receive that kind of certificate from the doctor. Thank you for the update in advance! Diana

Custom public holiday calendar not shown

Hi, I have created a new custom public holiday calendar for our office, based on an existing calendar, just added on extra day for 2025 (liberation day for netherlands, once on a fixed date). I also applied this new calendar through Settings > Company > Public Holidays but the day is not shown in employees’ calendars.  Is there an additional step needed that I missed in order to actually apply?Thanks in advance! :)
