Hi,

I would like to know when is a entry made into table:PER_CONTRACTS_F. I believe it is when you create a Contingent Worker(which is nothing but a contractor). 
Please confirm if my understanding is correct. My requirement is basically to fetch below fields for a FTA(Fixed Term Appointee) employee. FTA , I believe , is a Contractor. Please correct me if I am wrong. 

Fields are: 
=======
Employee Code ,Name ,Business ,Company ,Grade ,Work Level ,Title ,Location ,Department ,Date Of Joining ,Date of Birth ,Age ,
