Modifying contracts using amendments and addenda

Employment contracts in Approved status and employee contracts in Accepted status can be modified using the Amendment and Addendum modification types.

Amendments update existing contract information, and addendums add new information that did not previously exist. Amendments and addendums can be applied at the employment contract level, to associated employee contracts, or to a single employee contract. An amendment or addendum applied at the employment contract level does not affect employee contracts that have already been individually modified with differing details. After a contract is modified, employment contract administrators can require employees to re‑acknowledge the contract and can track all changes made to the modified records.

If employee contract consolidation is enabled, amendments and addendums update associated employee contract records. This does not apply to records that were previously updated individually. Notes and attachments update only contracts marked as NONE or MAIN. When a modification is submitted, the selected status applies to all active records that were not individually modified.

You can apply amendments and addendums only to employee contract records marked as NONE or MAIN. When you modify a MAIN employee contract, the changes also apply to related SUPPORTING records. Notes and attachments do not carry over. The Contract Modified flag is set to true on the MAIN record and all associated active SUPPORTING records.
