Use templates to create contracts for common workplace scenarios, like new hires or promotions, and customize dynamic fields based on the recipient.
What's covered in this guide?
Access contract templates
To access existing contract templates or create a new template, navigate to the Contracts & Documents hub under the Workforce tab.
Create a new contract template
In the Contracts & Documents hub, use the + New Template button to create a new contract template.
Enter a Template name and select the template type to start, then begin populating the template.
Use the Save button at the bottom of the page once you've finished editing the template.
Dynamic fields
Dynamic fields act as placeholders in your contracts, and automatically populate based on the information entered in employee profiles and account settings. These placeholders allow you to use the same template for multiple employees, and automatically update the contents of the contract that are likely to change between staff, like name, hourly rate, or employment type.
Example:
Contract template: | How staff view the contract: |
Dear {{name}}, Congratulations on the promotion to {{role}}. Your new rate of pay is ${{hourly_rate}}. | Dear Amy Smith, Congratulations on the promotion to manager. Your new rate of pay is $25.60. |
Learn more in the Dynamic Fields guide.
Contract Images
Images can be used in contracts to represent company logos or manager signatures. Additionally, you could insert static tables or information via an image file.
There are two ways to insert an image into a contract Template:
Upload - (Recommended) This will allow you to upload an image file from your computer into the contract template. Tanda hosts the image file and displays it on the contact. To upload a file select the paperclip icon in the text edition panel.
Copy > Paste - This will place the image on the contract template via the URL it was copied from.
Note: Copy Paste is not recommended for file paths you do not manage, contract templates could face issues if the linked image is no longer found via that path.
Text options
Text in your contract template can be formatted with:
Bolding
Italics
Strikethrough
URL links
Headings
Quote blocks
Code blocks
Bullet points
Numbered lists
If dynamic fields are formatted with any of the above, the formatting will also apply to the information that populates.
For example, the {{name}} field is bolded in the contract template, and is populated as below:
Template | Contract |
|
