Contract Length -- IT0007 | Business Central

The contract length code is the SAP code that describes the number of months the employee is contracted to work and over how many months they will be paid.

The contract length code is descriptive only, meaning it is useful for categorizing data for reporting, but it does not control how payroll is issued.
