If the project is not complete within this period, the project will close, and all remaining hours will be forfeited.

Change of Scope – As part of the implementation project, a rigorous scoping and design process is undertaken prior to the technical configuration.

If there are requests to fundamentally change what has already been configured, the additional time taken by enableHR’s Project Manager to undertake this further change will be charged.

Any additional time taken by enableHR’s Project Manager to undertake this on behalf of the client will be charged.
