Enables you to set up employment contracts on ResourceLink for a selected employee.

Employee contracts are available as an intermediate level between employees and their post holdings (appointments). An employee can have no, one, or many contracts; each contract can have no, one, or many post holdings linked to it. If an employee has multiple contracts, they can run either concurrently or consecutively. You can set a contract for a fixed term, leave it as open-ended (without an end date), or extend it on a number of occasions.

Once you have set up a contract, you can link it to an employee’s post via Post Holding Detail.

Note: It is only necessary to enter contract information if you need to monitor the contracts against which posts are held. This information has no effect on employee pay calculations.
