Defining and routing offers with legacy employment contracts

Legacy Employment Contracts fields are displayed only if your organization is configured to use Legacy Employment Contracts.

If the offer includes an offer or an employment template, after the offer is fully approved, you can generate offer and contract documents that reflect the offer as approved. When the candidate is hired, rehired, or transferred, the contract document and contract information remain associated with the new resource and work assignment record.
