How to use merge fields in employee contracts

Save time by merging employment and personal details directly into Employee contracts instead of manually typing information.

🎯 For Admins and HR managers.

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.

Tip: When filling in your contract, it's recommended to copy and paste the information directly from the table below, as manually entering the input fields may not always work as intended.
