# List employers

`GET /payroll/hub/us/employers`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.hibob.com/v1`
- URL: `https://api.hibob.com/v1/payroll/hub/us/employers`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

**Beta.** Returns US employers linked to the authenticated company. Use the
`employerId` values from this list for employer-scoped endpoints (pay cycles,
deductions). The current MVP returns the full list in a single response (no
pagination cursor will be set).

**Rate limit:** 5 requests per minute per authenticated caller.

## Response `200`

Success

- ListEmployersOutput
  - `items` Employer[], required: Employers visible to the authenticated caller. May be empty if the company is enabled for partner payroll but has no US employers yet.
    - `employerId` string, required: Unique identifier of the employer. Use this as the `employerId` path parameter on employer-scoped endpoints.
    - `fein` string, required: Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) — the IRS-issued 9-digit tax identifier for the employer, returned without dashes.
    - `name` string, required: Display name of the employer as configured in HiBob.
  - `responseMetadata` ResponseMetadata, required: Pagination metadata returned with every list response. Use `nextCursor` to fetch the next page; `null` indicates there are no more results.
    - `nextCursor` string, nullable: Opaque cursor identifying the start of the next page of results. Pass this value back as the `cursor` query parameter on the next request to continue paging. `null` (or absent) when the current page is the last one.

## Other responses

- `400`: Bad request — invalid request body, validation error, or deduction rejected by US Payroll.
- `401`: Unauthorized — the OAuth 2.0 access token is missing, invalid, or expired.
- `403`: Forbidden — the authenticated caller does not have permission to perform this operation on the requested company, employer, or employee.
- `429`: Too many requests — rate limit exceeded. Read the limit per operation (most reads are 5/minute, mutations 200/minute) and retry after the indicated delay.
- `500`: Internal server error — an unexpected error occurred. Retry with exponential backoff; if the error persists, contact HiBob support with the `requestId` from the response body.
