Hi Personio Community!
We're a growing company (~250 employees) and we're currently restructuring how we handle time-off approval workflows. As we've scaled, our current setup has become a bit messy, and I'd love to hear how others have approached this.
Our challenge:
Some employees report to a team lead AND a project manager, and we're unsure who should be the approver.
We want managers to see their team's absence calendar before approving, to avoid too many overlapping absences.
For longer absences (5+ days), we'd like to add a second-level approval (e.g., department head).
My questions:
How have you set up multi-level approval flows in Personio? Any tips or pitfalls?
Do you use any custom rules to differentiate approval steps based on the length of absence?
How do you handle approval for employees with dual reporting lines?
Are there any integrations or workarounds you've found helpful alongside Personio's built-in features?
Would love to hear what's worked (or hasn't worked) for your organization.
Thanks in advance!
