There will be three pre-defined options/contracts available by default: 'Salary', 'Weekly 40h Daily 8h', and 'Weekly 40h'. 

In this instance, we'll choose the contract labeled 'Salary' since this contract doesn't have any configured overtime rules.

Assign a Contract Number and Contact Name to each contract for identification purposes.
