Contracts

Define employment contracts with work patterns.

Contracts

The Contracts settings page lets you define employment contracts for employees. Navigate to Settings > Contracts to access it.

What Contracts Define

Contracts define employment terms for employees. Each contract specifies the standard working arrangement between the employee and a store.

Creating a Contract

To create a contract, specify:

  • Employee
  • Store
  • FTE (full-time equivalent) — e.g., 1.0 for full-time, 0.5 for half-time
  • Start date
  • End date (optional, for fixed-term contracts)

Week Patterns

Week patterns define the standard weekly schedule for the contract. For each day of the week, you can set:

  • Working hours (or mark as non-working)
  • Start and end times

These patterns are used for automatic shift generation. When you generate a schedule, the system creates shifts based on each employee's contract and their week pattern.

Editing and Deleting

Edit or delete contracts as needed. Changes to contracts affect future schedule generation. Past schedules are not automatically updated.

Relationship to Scheduling

Contracts are the basis for schedule auto-generation. When you use the schedule management tool to generate shifts, it uses the contract week patterns to create the appropriate shifts for each employee.
