Whether your organisation employs Permanent, Seasonal, Fixed Term, or Contract employees, maintaining employment records is an important part employment compliance and employee management.

How Do Employment Periods Work?
Tātou has recently made improvements to the Tātou Office App Employment Period Feature which means ALL EMPLOYEES in will now have at least one Employment Period created based on the START DATE in their Employee Profile.
If Employment Periods have been created and maintained, historical Employment Period Drop Downs will be created based on the Start and End Dates listed.
Adding a START DATE or END DATE in an Employment Period is NOT the same as marking an Employee ACTIVE or INACTIVE.
Information Used for Alerts and Payroll Calculations:
Information in the Employment Period is largely for historical record maintenance. However, there are are a few features that will use information from OPEN Employment Periods:
Visa Alerts
Expiry date information from OPEN Employment Periods for ACTIVE Employees will populate the Overview Dashboard Expiration Alerts widget.
Payroll Calculations
All per-employee entitlements are managed in each Employment Period. This means that employees can have agreed hours top-up settings that vary over time without affecting historical data. Payroll calculations will be driven by the most recent Employment Period Information.
