Update Contractor Tenure Policies

Update Contractor Tenure Policies

  • Have the
    contractor.tenure.edit
     permission.
  • Have at least 2 tenure policies in your tenant.
You might need to assign a different tenure policy to a contractor. Example: If you created a new tenure policy for a particular job category, such as Technology, you can assign this tenure policy to contractors as needed. You can use Tenure Rules to assign a tenure policy automatically during onboarding.
Tenure tracing is tied to an individual's
Master Worker Record
. If a worker has worked for multiple vendors and their
System Unique IDs
 match and tie them to the same
Master Worker Record
, then tenure calculations are done across vendors.
Note that if you have the
contractor.bulk.update
 permission, you also have the option to update or revert tenure policies in bulk. To do this, you can use the Bulk Update Contractors feature in the Bulk Update Wizard and set
Dataset
 to
Contractors
 and
Select Update Action
 to
Update Tenure Policy
or
Revert Tenure Policy
