Create or Update a Crew Contract

Goal: Add or update a crew contract so the crew member has the correct dates, rank, contract type, compensation, rotation settings, and contract files.

Before you start

The crew member must already exist.
You must have permission to manage crew contracts.
Prepare the start date, rank, contract type, and any known end date.
Prepare compensation details only if your yacht uses those fields.
Prepare contract files if they need to be attached.

Open the contract area

### Open the crew member profile

From Crew, open Crew Members and select the crew member.

Open Contracts

Select the Contracts tab.

Create or open a contract

Click New to create a contract, or open an existing contract row to update it.

Complete contract details

The contract detail page can include several areas.

Contract details

Use this area for the core contract information:

Start Date: when the contract begins.
End Date: when the contract ends, if already known.
Contract Type: the type of agreement used by your yacht.
Rank: the crew member’s rank for this contract.
Payroll: payroll reference if your process uses it.

The rank selected on an active contract can affect the rank shown on the crew member profile and in operational planning.

Compensation and benefits

Use this area when salary, bonus, currency, or payment interval are tracked in IN-YACHT.

If your yacht does not use these fields, leave them according to your internal process.

Rotation and leave

Use this area when the contract is part of a rotation arrangement. You can record whether it is a rotation contract and maintain leave-related values when your process uses them.

Contract files

Use the files area to attach contract documents, signed agreements, or supporting records.

Save the contract

### Review the contract

Check dates, rank, contract type, and any financial or rotation values.

Save

Click Save to keep working on the contract, or Save and Close to return to the crew member profile.

Confirm the crew profile

Return to the crew member profile and check whether the active contract and rank now appear as expected.

Result

The crew contract is saved and can be used for rank, active contract, rotation, leave, and contract document tracking.
