Overview of Contracts

The worker's assignment can include contract information which is required by some legal employers. The contract details are for information only; they have no effect on processing.

Legal employers can use contracts only if it's enabled at the legal employer level and use any of these employment models:

• 2 Tier Multiple Contract - Single Assignment

• 2 Tier Single Contract - Single Assignment

You can associate a contract with an assignment by creating a new contract or selecting from existing contracts. You can use the same contract across assignments only within the same work relationship.

If you create a new assignment for a worker in a legal employer that supports contracts and don't enter contract details, a default contract record is still created in the application.

You can extend the contract period and manage other contract details using the Employment Contracts task. HR Specialists can access this task from the My Client Groups tab under Quick Actions. Line managers can access the task from the My Team tab under Quick Actions. Employees can view their contract information on their Employment Info page.

You can configure approvals for the Manage Contracts business process by using the Manage Contracts approval rule. You can select the type of contract whether its fixed-term, full-time, or seasonal. The values for the contract type field are populated by the user lookup CONTRACT_TYPE.

You can migrate contract data from the assignment to the contract by running the Migrate Employment Data scheduled process. You must run this process only once before you manage contracts using the Employment Contracts task.
