First Steps

Employment type currently offers only two options:

  • internal
  • external.

We would really like to use a third one: contractor.

 

It seems that it is not possible to edit the preset attributes, is there something Personio can do??

Hello @Tset_HR 😊,

The attribute Employment Type is a preset attribute which cannot be edited or deleted. However, you can create a new Custom Attribute, so you can have the information available within the employee profile. 

I also would like to suggest you the below workaround on how to set up the Contractors employee profile. Let me know if that would be ideal for you:

1) Create a new employee profile enter External as the employment type. If you do not want your employee shown in the Payroll, departments.. etc. do not add such Attributes: supervisor, position, department. These settings ensure that the newly created employee profile is not shown in your payroll, teams or departments. It is therefore largely hidden from all other employees in your company.
However, if the contractor needs to be in a team or department, please fill in the attributes.

2. The hire date is supposed to be set, because the profile needs to be active in order to receive notifications (e.g. for onboarding).

3. Since the employment type is external, the profile will not appear in the headcount report for internal employees.
 
I hope this helps. For more information, I invite you to consult our Helpcencer article:
