Questions & Answers about Personio

Hi Personio Community! I need your support😉. We have activated a subsidiary and would like to manage a reduced visibility of the employees entered (ex: not see main company’s employees).I tried following the help centre info but can't set it up. Can anyone help us?A.

We are about to implement Personio and received the our personio account in german and after changing the language in the settings, we still have many attributes in german. Some things can't even be changed like nationality. Would it be possible to just reset everything and send me the English version of Personio? It is very frustration. 

Hi all,  I am trying to extract a report from Personio to illustrate all break hours taken by per employee per month. Is this possible ? Could some one help please ?

Hi there. We are rolling out a performance cycle this month but I would like to deactivate (or at least remove access) to the other performance options (goals, training and feedback) until later this year to avoid confusion. How do I do this? 

Hi all, Unfortunately Personio will discontinue with the Performance tab. This is quite a loss for the companies who used this (free) tab with features. Personio just says: we quit and you should fix the data yourself and if you want to make use of Performance features you need to pay for it. Personio provides information about a data export to save the data from the Performance tab but with this export you get a million of documents and they are all .csv document with a lot of computer language. And there is no manual on how to sort this.[This screenshot was removed, because it contained private data] So this means it’s quite difficult to save the company data from the Performance tab. It feels like Personio leaves us hanging and don’t provide a proper solution. I more and more get the feeling the basic product will be more and more basic and you need to pay for all the ‘extra’ features (which should be standard in my opinion). Any suggestions on how to manage this?

Will the feedback-documents stay in the performance-tab and not be moved into the new module?

As a Personio user reviewing ‘unassigned messages’ I would like to ‘create application’ in bulk. When a new job advert is posted on various platforms we receive 100s of ‘unassigned messages’ which are applications. I am not aware of any way we can mass create applications from this mass of ‘unassigned messages’. So far I can only see the ability to assign to or create an application on an individual ‘unassigned message’ basis. This is adding significant time-effort when there are 100-200 ‘unassigned messages’ that each need to have a ‘create application’ step completed one-by-one. 

Does a Manager have the ability to access peer reviews for indirect reports?

Hi,I need help with setting up an employee who is entitled to 25 days paid holidays per year with 5 days carry over from previous year. What would this look like when setting up please ?

Dear community I would like to know if personio is also hiring in south africa as the company says remote work and was wondering does it include specific regions or just where the company is based and its branchesThank you 

Hey people, curious if anyone knows a way to automatically give employees +1 vacation day per year? We are introducing this policy and I’d love to know if anyone is currently doing this or if it needs to be done manually.

Hello,We tried to add the Google Calendar Integration, but Personio keeps giving the error of “access_denied”. I have checked the forums and found out that you need to have an admin right to be able to do so. Even after having the access right, we still get the same error. Any tips on how to solve this problem? 

Hi, I am trying to import all the data into Personio but it is asking me to assign the attributes manually. I don’t need those attributes. How can i say that i don’t want them?Child benefits, religion…Thank you.Tania

As a global business its helpful to be able to have different attributes for different staff. example HMRC has no relevence to US or european staff, but we need as an attribute for UK staff. If anyone knows a way inwhich you can set rules so certain attributes only apply to certain staff, that would be very helpful. Thank you 

I thought that every profile created (means every new employee) will get assigned a employee ID as a unique identifier. I now realize that this ID is not generated automatically - can I set this up so it is creating it with every new employee/ profile?

Good evening everyone, Does anyone have an ideal way of handling interns/working students who become full-time employees? Concerning People Management: What specific steps need to be taken in Personio? Regarding Recruiting: For example, when a position is taken over as an FTE, it is filled without being advertised beforehand. In reports, the position should still appear as "Hired" - what is the best way to handle this in Personio? Maybe someone has some good best practice examples or tips. I would be very pleased :)Cheers,Vanessa

According to the section “Current Limitations...” in this article Azure Active Directory – Personio the integration with (Azure) Active Directory is currently limited to pure cloud(-only) environments. Most likely many customers are still running AD onprem and syncing it with Azure AD. In such cases (according to this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/app-provisioning/plan-cloud-hr-provision) the so called Azure AD Connect Provisioning Agent can be used to provision accounts from the HR app to Active Directory which is subsequently synced to Azure AD. Typically there is a second component syncing back email addresses and other attributes to HR. Are there any plans to implement this functionality?Cheers,AZITC

Hi community,At the moment all employees at my company (based in Spain) have the same Absence Type for holidays and different accrual policies.For 2023 we want to change this, and assign each employee to a corresponding Absence Type for their subsidiary (different labor laws/carryover rules in each country).I have 2 questions:#1: because there is unlimited carryover on some of these new types, if we assign the new absence type + accrual policy, people will have the prorated amount since hire date. How can I avoid this?Possible solution: On 01.01.2023 do a manual bulk upload of employees with each absence type, manually assigning the # of days just for the year 2023.#2: Once they are unassigned the current accrual policy, they will lose any carryover they hadWhat is the best way to add this carry over to their new accrual policy?Manually, by downloading a point in time report of their absence balance and then bulk uploading a new adjustment?Thanks for any and all help on the matter. 

Ich möchte einen Brückentag für alle Mitarbeiter zentral eintragen.Was habe ich zu tun? 

Dear team, We have the calendar integration with Personio & our company google calendar. But when we add the url to calendar, the leaves displayed in google calendar are up to date. But the sync between url link & google calendar is not frequent & we do not see updated leaves in our calendar if any employees leave gets approved on that day. We can able to see the synced update after a day.Is there any way we can increase sync intervals so that the data seen in google calendar is up to date ??

Hi, Is there a way to add the attribute “Termination type” to a report? I would need to distribute this in a leaver report I need to create. Until now I have not been able to find a way to include that.  Thank you for sharing best practice for this matter.  RegardsCarina

This is a ‘call out’ to others based in the various UK nations and across Ireland.Having had a really constructive conversation with Personio I am keen to establish an active group of community members with a focus on UK+IE.The topics are intended to cover all aspects of HR/People - but with a narrower scope.Anyone is welcome to join and look forward to meeting/engaging with you.
