Pay agreements are valid for a limited period. When a pay agreement is no longer valid, any employee who has been connected to the agreement cannot be approved or transferred.

When a new pay agreement is required, copy the existing pay agreement and make the necessary changes.

If you change only the date on which the agreement expires, you must change the date after approving the last day of the previous agreement period. Furthermore, you will not be able to see the old setup.

A pay agreement contains a number of pay agreement lines that specify when different pay types are issued. These pay agreement lines can be delimited in many ways.
