Bob does not automatically terminate an employee when their contract end date passes, but you can schedule a termination in advance or set up reminders to help make sure it isn’t missed.
If an employee has a fixed and confirmed contract end date, you can schedule their termination ahead of time:
- Go to the employee’s profile.
- Select Actions > Change work status > Terminate employee > Terminate.
- Enter the employee’s future contract end date as the Termination date.
- Complete the termination process.
The termination will then be scheduled to take effect on the date you entered.
Alternatively, you can use a date field and an automatic task list to remind the relevant team members when an employee’s contract is due to end.
- Go to Settings > Data management > People’s data fields.
- Create a custom date field, such as Contract end date.
- Use this date as the anchor event for an automatic task list.
- Set reminders for the relevant team members so they can take the required action.
Important to keep in mind: If you decide to create a custom field, remember that in order for the Task list to trigger, the field needs to be populated.
