How to configure it so that whenever next time I click on the personnel action for hiring the contract element, it will be included.
And how can I know whether this employee is on probation period while this employee is not on probation period (example: they have completed the probation period or they have been working for 2 yrs.)?
Answer:
You will need to maintain infogroup for all personnel actions, including hiring action.
You can include contract element in your hiring action so that whenever user execute the hiring action, the contract element will be activated. This can be done using table V_T588D.
For how to know whether an employee is on probation, this can be identified from the date of hiring (i.e. the hiring action date). I believe your question here is more of coming from system perspective. This is be achieved using IT0019 (Monitoring of Tasks). You can include this infotype in your hiring action so that this info will be captured during the hiring.
Infotype 19 (Task Monitoring) is generally used to capture futuristic/ Expected dates in respect of any events which is to be happen for an employee like for example confirmation, training period completion etc. Therefore in this infotype you may capture all date in respect of events which are going to be executed in future and you required tracking for that dates.
Also in infotype 19, we can store only one date at a time,
and we can set up a date on which can be used to send as reminder. The
reminders depend on the time period you setup, they can be one month, two
months, or one year, and how early you want the reminder, is it one week
before that takes place or 10 days before etc., With the help of workflow,
we can set up different email ids, and we can send reminders (mails ) on
each and every record of this infotype 19. Examples are like, your license
expiry, visa expiry, passport expiry, probation end date, or, your promotion
due date. etc. Here we have to store different dates on different records.
Infotypes For Probation Employees
What is the infotype to check whether an employee is on probation or not and till when he is on probation?
Answer:
Infotype 0016 will have the information about probation date and confirmation date.
In the Infotype 0016 (HR Master Record: Infotype 0016 (Contract Elements))
Table PA0016.
Get the values from fields PRBZT and PRBEH.
The probation start date and end date are:
CTBEG - Start date

Infotype 16 is for contract types. It defines what kind of contract the employee has with the company for e.g. Regular, Contractor etc.
