Hi there,
New to Personio and soon to launch the system.
We will not be using the Attendance tab. However, we want the manager to be able to add overtime for employees, for example. Adam Fox worked 4 hours on 28/08/2025 doing manual production. We then want this to go for approval to our FD, and finally for me to extract this as a report for payroll.
Is there a way to do that over than flexible working and using the attendance tab. All suggestions welcome. Thank you :)
+11Hi
Just tagging our Problem Solvers to see if they can help with this:
+13Our workaround, as we don’t use the Attendance functionality, is to have a ‘time off type’ called TOIL.
Line managers email HR (outside of Personio) to confirm overtime earned, and we add the relevant number of hours to the employee’s TOIL allowance. Super manual, and not ideal, but the best option we have found without using the built in time tracking option available in Personio.
You could have the FD as the Approver for the the TOIL time off type?
We looked into creating a new absence type - overtime. The trouble is our production guys work overtime on Sat & Sun and the work schedule does not allow it...
+14Hi
If you’re only tracking overtime in the attendance tab, you could set up a work schedule similar to how we set up the freelancer’s work schedule as their actual work hours are invoiced on a monthly basis.
So basically you set up a work schedule without any settings except those:
and I believe within the workflows you can create an approval flow. :-)
I hope that helps?
+14so, once you assigned the work schedule, they would only need to track/add their overtime. Is this what you mean?
