Use this procedure to create the sections of a resource's contract. One or more contract sections comprise a contract.

  1. Select Administrator > Set Up > Employment Contract Components > Sections.
  2. Click Create, and specify this information:
    Section

    The system assigns a section number after you save the section.

    Effective Date

    Select the date on which the section becomes effective.

    Description

    Specify the section description.

    Section Type

    Select the section type.

    Section Header

    Specify the section header text as it will appear in the contract. This is similar to the description in that it gives a short overview of the section, but this text is included in the contract document.

    Active

    Select this check box to make the contract section active. The contract section is active by default. Clear the check box to inactivate it.

  3. Click Save. The Section Text area appears.
  4. Specify the text for the contract section in the Section Text area. You can use text variables in the section text. The variables are resolved in the context of specific resource contracts.

    To see the variables that are available, right-click inside the text box and select Variables.

  5. Click Save.
