## Reminder guidance for this contract type

### Employment dates carry legal consequences when they slip

Employment contracts are unusual in how much weight their dates carry. A probation period is a window with reduced notice and simpler termination terms; once it ends, the easier path closes. A fixed-term end date that passes without action can, in many jurisdictions, automatically convert the role into a permanent contract, a significant, often unintended, commitment. Notice periods have to be served in writing within defined windows. These are not soft reminders; missing them changes the company's legal obligations. Tracking each as an owned deadline, with lead time to hold the right conversation, keeps HR in control of outcomes rather than reacting to them.

### Work authorization gaps stop work entirely

For employees on work permits or visas, the renewal date is one of the highest-stakes deadlines in the contract. Authorization rarely renews instantly, processing can take weeks or months, so the practical deadline to start is well before the permit expires. A lapse creates more than paperwork: it can legally prevent the person from working and expose the employer to penalties. The renewal should be tracked as a long-lead reminder that triggers the process early, not an alert that fires when the permit is already days from expiry.

## Quick answers

Short answers to the questions we get most about reminder extraction.

- **Q:** How does the employment contract reminder work?
  **A:** Upload your employment agreement or fixed-term contract as a PDF or DOCX. We run an AI extraction on the document, find the probation end date, fixed-term expiration, notice requirements, non-compete window, and any work-permit conditions, and suggest reminder dates for each. You can then start a free Contracko trial to track everything automatically, or note the dates yourself.

- **Q:** Does it catch probation and fixed-term deadlines?
  **A:** Yes. The probation end date is the window to confirm, extend, or end employment under simpler terms, let it pass and that flexibility is gone. A fixed-term end date that slips by can, in many jurisdictions, convert into an open-ended contract. The tool surfaces both with their source clauses so the decision happens deliberately, not by default.

- **Q:** What happens after the extraction?
  **A:** You'll see a list of suggested reminders pulled from your contract, each anchored to the clause it came from. From there you can start a free Contracko trial to track them automatically with email alerts and owner assignments, or just note the dates yourself.

- **Q:** Can it track deadlines across a team?
  **A:** The free tool reads one contract at a time. HR and people-ops teams managing many employment agreements use a Contracko trial to keep every probation review, fixed-term end, and permit renewal in one tracked view so none of them are missed at scale.

- **Q:** What happens to my contract after I upload it?
  **A:** Your contract is transmitted over TLS encryption and processed by AI providers under terms that exclude training on your data. If you start a Contracko trial, the file moves into your private workspace and stays there.
