ENYour Personarium - People & HR Studio studio at a glance
Hub in the middle, satellites around it - this is exactly how it looks in your account.
What it solves
The personnel file is a ring binder and the employment contract is a Word file from 2019.
Everything about one person in one place: master data, contract, documents and deadlines - searchable instead of filed away. HR management maintains the digital record. The employment-contract generator creates a draft based on the information listed in Germany's Documentation Act, with common and optional clauses. Special cases and the applicable law still require review.
Leave requests by shouting across the room, shift plans via chat, overtime by gut feeling.
Leave requests, time entries and shift planning use the same employee and organisation data. Personarium flags overlaps, missing breaks, short rest periods and long working days using configured standard rules. Collective, company-specific and statutory exceptions still require review.
The new hire starts Monday and nobody knows who orders the laptop or when probation ends.
Checklists, tasks and equipment handover structure the new hire's start. Based on recorded data, the deadline monitor creates reminders for probation, fixed terms, remaining-leave notices, maternity-protection periods and checklist dates 30, 14, 7 and 1 day before the recorded date.
Payroll prep means spreadsheets, paper notes and one sweaty afternoon per month.
Pro combines approved time, night, Sunday and public-holiday supplements, absences and pay components. It supports mini-job, midi-job and standard-employment classification, provides a non-binding gross-to-net preview for supported years, and creates a documented provider-neutral handoff package. Named payroll adapters remain locked until an accepted test import has been evidenced. Payroll calculation, filings, and professional review remain with the payroll office, tax adviser, or payroll system.
Applications, goals and training live in three different spreadsheets.
One line from candidate to completed mandatory training: recruiting runs the pipeline, development goals and learning management share employees, positions and qualifications. Employee surveys collect honest feedback - pseudonymous, with a minimum group size enforced server-side.
Workforce planning only becomes visible after the budget is already gone.
Numbers before they hurt: workforce and compensation planning connect target positions, cost and approvals, HR analytics shows only your own data - no bought benchmarks. Travel expenses run through clear approval instead of a shoebox of receipts, and HR workflows keep recurring processes together.
Partings get expensive when deadlines and wording go wrong.
The notice-period monitor creates reminders from the entered contract data. The severance calculator provides a non-binding calculation aid, the reference-letter decoder explains common wording as guidance, and the Equal Pay Radar highlights differences in the stored compensation data. Collective agreements, special cases and legal assessment still require review.
One new hire, one connected workflow
This is what hiring looks like when the tools work together instead of side by side.

FAQ
Do I need an HR department to use this?
No - the studio is built for owners who do HR on the side. If you do have an HR department, they will like it too.
Do I pay per employee?
Not per employee record. Plus includes up to five active records. Pro removes this product-side record limit. Shared organisation access and linked employee self-service accounts each require a purchased Pro organisation seat.
Where does the personnel data live?
The core application and primary storage run on Hetzner infrastructure in Germany. Encrypted database backups are kept in another Hetzner EU region. IBAN, tax ID and social-security number also receive AES-256-GCM field encryption. A data-processing agreement is available, and other providers are listed in the privacy notice.
Can employees request leave and access documents?
Yes. Linked employees sign in with their own Werkzeu.ge account. Depending on release and permissions, they can see remaining leave, their own time, published shifts and personal documents, and can request leave. Requests follow the configured approval route, such as an assigned manager or the organisation owner.
Can I run full payroll here?
No. Pro combines approved time, night, Sunday and public-holiday supplements, absences, and pay components and creates a documented provider-neutral handoff package. Named payroll adapters remain locked without a verified specification, mapping, and accepted test import. Personarium does not produce payroll statements, social-security filings, or wage-tax filings. Professional review and payroll remain with the payroll office, tax adviser, or payroll system.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
Before cancelling, save the documents and specialist exports you need. You can export account-related data yourself. Organisation-related HR data and further privacy requests are handled through the privacy contact after authorisation is verified. Statutory retention duties can prevent the immediate deletion of some data.
The studio is already open.
Look around without an account. A verified account and payment method are needed only when you start the Plus trial - and you can cancel any time, even during the trial.
