Concept: Employee Contracts
Overview
You can use employee contracts to issue a contract for employees and record the expected duration and other details of employment. You can also track additional fields for employee contracts through:
- Activating localized fields for contracts in theMaintain Localization Settingstask.
- Creating custom fields for your organization's requirements.

events but you can rescind these events.Workday enables you to renew a contract by either adding a new contract or extending the contract. You can only review a contract once for each contract or for each extension.
You can configure steps on the
Change Job
business process definition if you want to extend an existing contract, or end one contract and start a new one as part of a job change. Employee Contract Rules
Some countries have regulations for the number of times you can renew fixed-term contracts and the total duration of employment for a fixed-term contract. Employee contract rules enable you to define:
- A maximum combined contract duration
- Maximum number of contract renewals.
- A default contract review date.
Example: You can create a rule that defines an employee can only have 4 contract renewals with a maximum combined contract length of 4 years.
Workday displays warnings when a contract exceeds a maximum combined contract duration or number of renewals. Workday also populates a default contract review date on employee contracts that you can override.
