Contract List

You must first assign the employee a contract valid from a specific date. To do this, click Add Contract.

To add a follow-up contract, click Add Follow-up Contract. The follow-up contract automatically continues from the end date of the active contract.

For permanent (open-ended) employment, leave the “Valid to” field empty.

For fixed-term employment, clicking Add Follow-up Contract creates a new contract that continues exactly from the end of the previous one.
