Managing staff contracts and adding a contract to a staff member

This article explains how to manage staff contracts in Arbor, including creating, editing, and reviewing contracts. It details the necessary permissions for contract management, how to view and download contract information, and the steps to add a new contract and salary details for staff members. It also provides guidance on uploading attachments and links to related actions like changing contracted hours or deleting contracts.

The contracts area in School > All staff > HR admin > Contracts gives a quick view of all the contracts on Arbor, including salaries. Creating, editing and reviewing contracts can be done from this section.

Permissions

You will need the Staff Profile: Setup: All Staff: Contract Management permission to edit contracts and salaries, and the Staff Profile: View: All Staff: Contract Details permission to see but not edit these. If you don't have permission, you'll need to ask your admin team to give you permission using these instructions.

 

The grid in Staff Contracts gives a quick view of the contracts on Arbor, the grid shows all basic information about each contract. The report can be downloaded by clicking on the Download button.

Clicking on a staff members name from the grid will take you to their Staff Profile which will display information about their contract, post and salary.

From the staff profile

The Contracts page in the Staff Profile allows the school to view, edit and add staff contract details. 

If a contract is already attached to the staff's profile the page will immediately display the contract details, post and salary.

Weeks per year needs to be either a whole number or a decimal, so double-check you've not added in a ':'

In the FTE Salary section, you need to either:

  • select a pay scale
  • add a custom salary amount
  • add a custom amount of 0 alongside an hourly rate
