Enter your company name. Your employees see the company name in the top-left corner of their Personio account and in the sender address of recruiting emails if they have access to the Recruiting app.

Decide if you want to enable legal entities to mirror your organizational structure. Enabling them allows you to:

• Add the legal entity system attribute to employee profiles and use it for filtering. 
• Create separate worksheets for each legal entity in Payroll.
• Assign different access rights for each legal entity.
• Create a separate career page for a legal entity.

Decide if you want to enable email notifications for employees. When enabled, employees can select which events, like approvals or reminders, receive email notifications. Disabling this option stops all email notifications from Personio for the company.

Select the default language for the company's Personio account (example: English). Employees will see this language when first invited to Personio.

Available default languages:

• English (United States)
• English (United Kingdom)
• Dutch
• French
• German

Select a timezone for your company. If you use many, choose one for each office. Time zones are important for import processes and sending email reminders from Personio.

Select a public holiday calendar from Personio or create your own. If your offices have different holidays, store the national calendar here and set up individual calendars for each office.
