Platforms & integrations

Current primary pricing expressly includes EOR and payroll platform access, contradicting an older directory suggestion of no public-facing platform; actual functional scope remains untested. Grievance policy says internal employees can report through Personio; this does not establish Personio as the client EOR platform. APIs, integrations, access roles, exports and reliability evidence remain unavailable.
