Overlapping absences without a notification

Question

We have encountered an issues with overlapping absences in Personio, that employees are able to add multiple absence types (e.g. vacation and sick leave) for the same time period. This results in deducted vacation days even though the employee is sick and has registered sick leave. The system does not generate a notification of this happening. Has anybody else had the same issue and figured out an automation or any other workaround to stop this from happening or that you are atleast notified of it?

Hi ​@Josefin Bohlinand ​@SabbuSchreiber!After consulting with my colleagues, I wanted to come back and touch base on this.We’re aware of this lack of afunctionality to automatically resolve overlapping absences, but unfortunately it isn’t currently on the roadmap. However, we are aiming to revisit this specific issue in 2026 and I’m hopeful we’ll have a more final solution then.I’m sorry that I couldn’t come back with better news on this. What I will do, though, is try my best to source a workaround from either my colleagues or fellow community members (if one exists).Thank you and please let me know if I can help with anything else!-Moe

Hi ​@Josefin Bohlin,we actually encountered that issue as well. Same too when they track time during a sick leave or vacation which then results in overtime.Unfortunately I haven’t found a workaround for this yet and Personio doesn’t flag those double entries (yet).I’d love to know if anyone else has a solution for this 😊
