Enter the number of hours to be worked per week according to the contract. If there are no employee-level contract hour entries, the system derives the hours and Weeks Per Year (WPY) figures from Maintain Work Pattern Detail.

Note: A Job or Default Full-Time Weeks Per Year have not been setup error message is displayed if a weeks per year figure has not been entered in Maintain Job FTE Detail (job) or Maintain Work Pattern Detail (default).

If the system / grade is set up for automatic spinal point amount creation and the post is associated with a grade that is linked to spinal amount columns, a new spinal point amount record is created when a new contract hours record is added (unless the contract hours relate to a protected grade). Click Closedhere for details about the creation of the new spinal point amount record.

When a new contract hours record is added to an employee who does not have a post and is associated with a grade that is linked to spinal amount columns and the system / grade is set up for automatic spinal point amount creation, a spinal point amount record is created without a new grade record.

Note: Spinal point amount records are not automatically created when a contract hours record is deleted or updated, if a spinal point amount record already exists that starts on or after the contract hours start date or if there is an override date against the existing spinal point amount record and the date is on or before the contract hours start date. For grades attached to a post, a spinal point amount record is also not created if the grade has an obsolete date that is on or before the contract hours start date. For contract hours updated via the HR Interface or MyView, a spinal point amount record is also not created if a grade or grade point change accompanies the contract hours change.
