Vacation days balance has changed - how to edit this?

Hi Edda - I can't remember exactly how the absence info was previously displayed, but I don’t remember it deducting planned absences from future periods (i.e. outside of the current absence year)? I think it only displayed that time off when you moved in to the relevant year. Either way, I don't believe the new layout is customisable in the way that you would like it to be.

With regards to tagging Moe for help - please see Daniele’s post on this: 

Hi, before it deducted all approved vacation days from the balance.

Ok - thank you for the link - for some reason it didn’t open for me.

Hi ​@Edda van der Ende,

The new balance overview really focuses on the current period set for the employee. So in the case of your screenshot, it shows data for 2025.

There was an update in regards to if planned days for the next period are deducted from the current entitlement. As far as I know, this was done because the entitlement for the next accrual period is not yet granted which led to negative balances when the entirety of the next year was already planned.

The overview shows time off scheduled and approved for the current period. This element also calls out planned time off for future periods. So the employee has a chance to see how many vacation days they have already planned for future periods.

In terms of updates, you can find an overview of all updates here which also included this update: Personio Product Updates

Best,

Katharina

Hi ​@KatharinaS. 

Thank you for the clarification. In Finland the “vacation year” is 1 April - 31 March. This means that all winter vacations tend to be during Q1 and the days used are from the same ‘vacation year’ as e.g. previous summer. I was wondering if this was taken into account when planning this update?
