In Personio, it was already possible to fetch daily absence periods. We've added a new endpoint that allows customers to fetch hourly periods, along with daily breakdowns for those periods.

In Personio, it is already possible to retrieve salary data for employees. That salary data currently does not include the currency of a particular employee’s salary. From now on we are adding the currency attribute to the salary model in the employee endpoint.

Two new endpoints were added to the Personio public API.

The endpoint GET v1/employees/custom-attributes was originally created to support custom attributes only.
It evolved to more than that and now also returns information about regular attributes. To ensure correct naming we are renaming it to GET v1/employees/attributes.
Both endpoints will remain available to ensure compatibility.

The employee object now has the Universal ID (UID) exposed.

Attendances periods created via the POST /company/attendances, the updates via PATCH company/attendances and deletions via DELETE company/attendances endpoints used to skip the approval process by default, so there was no way to create attendances requests using the public API.

We just added an email query parameter to the /company/employees endpoint, which allows you to find an employee with their given email address. The response is still a list, containing only the filtered employee.

In Personio, absence types are very customizable. For example, for a given absence type you can specify whether Half days, Substitutes, Absence certificates or similar options are required or possible. (Find more info here)

You can now retrieve the current balance per absence type for a given employee by calling the /company/employees/{employee_id}/absences/balance endpoint.

The response of the GET /company/employees /company/employees/{employee_id} and /company/employees/custom-attributes endpoints now returns the attribute type for custom attributes.
