Contracts How To Video
Module Description
The Contracts Module stores individual contract agreements between
employees and the company. Each
employee is hired under their own terms and conditions and these are contained in the contract record that is associated to that employee. Even though, contracts differ on a per employee basis, contract 'templates' can be made to streamline the process of creating and sending contacts to each employee.
Each contract includes comprehensive information about job details such as job title, job level and job location etc. This contract can then be emailed to the candidate or employee via a 'mail merge' functionality thereby ensuring both the company terms and conditions and the employees uniques contract terms and sent. "Finalised' contract documents are stored for future reference.
