To **track contract renewals with instructors and freelance teachers**, register every contract with its start and end dates, hourly rate and terms, attach the signed document and review a list of contracts ending soon early enough to renew or replace the instructor.

In **Jestor**, contracts are linked to instructors and their classes, so renewal decisions consider workload and feedback.

## Why do instructor contracts slip through?

Training centers often work with many freelance teachers, each with a contract ending at a different time.

Without a shared record, contracts expire mid-term, rates change without documentation and classes start without a valid agreement.

## What problems does contract tracking solve?

- Contracts expiring without renewal
- Rates and terms not documented
- Signed documents hard to find
- Classes assigned to instructors without a valid contract
- No data to support renewal decisions

## How do I track instructor contracts in Jestor?

1. **Create a contracts table** linked to instructors, with dates, rate and status.
2. **Attach the signed contract** and any amendments.
3. **Create a view** of contracts ending in the next 60 days.
4. **Review performance data**, such as student ratings and attendance, before renewing.
5. **Track renewal status**: Upcoming, In negotiation, Renewed, Ended.

| Contract status | Action                     |
| --------------- | -------------------------- |
| Active          | No action needed           |
| Ending soon     | Start renewal conversation |
| In negotiation  | Record new terms           |
| Ended           | Reassign classes           |

## Why use Jestor for instructor contracts?

- **Ready model**: the Contracts and Document Management solution in the [Jestor templates](https://www.jestor.com/pt/templates/?ref=blog.jestor.com) shows contracts expiring within 30 days and a calendar of expiries.
- **Linked data**: contracts connect to classes and feedback.
- **Documents in context**: signed files stay with the record.
- **Validations**: classes can require an active contract before assignment.

Renewal conversations go better with data. When student ratings, attendance and hours taught are already linked to the contract, the coordinator can discuss terms with facts rather than impressions.

Rate changes should also be documented. Recording each new hourly rate with its start date keeps payroll and finance aligned and avoids disputes when invoices from freelance teachers arrive with values different from what was agreed.

This setup helps you track contract renewals with instructors and freelance teachers on time.
