🎯 For Admins and HR managers.

See how to Create and upload contract templates.

When working with Employee contracts in Planday, you can cut down on manually entering information into the contract and automatically fill in the values. Use the merge fields functionality to pull Employment or Personal details directly from the employee's profile and replace the values in the contract with the input fields below before uploading.

You can use the merge fields while composing Employee contracts in Planday text editor or when uploading a contract in Microsoft Word.

Manually entering the input fields in your contract may not always work. To use them correctly, it is recommended to copy and paste directly from the table below.
