Changes, breaking or otherwise, to these endpoints will be communicated well in advance and we encourage our customers and partners to plan for migrating from the v1 to v2 Absences and Attendance APIs in 2025.

Users are also able to specify a query timeframe by using the 'occured_at' fields as well as an event name using the 'event_name' field.

Based on the feedback received from customers and partners regarding the date of pagination enforcement on the v1 Employees API and a desire for our API users to have as smooth a transition as possible, the date of pagination enforcement will be moved from December 7, 2024 to January 31, 2025. We thank all of our users for their continuous feedback and support and we will continue to ensure that your feedback is listened to and actioned upon.

For the following v1 endpoints - GET v1/company/attendances, POST v1/company/attendances, GET v1/company/time-offs, POST v1/company/time-offs and GET v1/company/time-offs/{id} and GET v1/company/time-off-types there will be an additional field in the payload named 'id_v2'.

Personio is proud to announce the launch of webhooks for document created, updated, signed and deleted events. Specific event descriptions are found here. Please do note that these webhooks are only triggered for employee-owned documents.
