Downloads a PDF of the auto-generated Employment Agreement for an employment.

The document is rendered as a draft (no signatures) and is not persisted. EA preview is only
available for countries that have a published Employment Agreement automation template — see the
`employment_agreement_preview_available` flag on the [Countries](#tag/Countries) endpoint.

## Authentication

This endpoint accepts any one of the following token types:

- **Company-scoped access token** (`OAuth2AuthorizationCode`) — obtained by a company manager through the Authorization Code flow or the Refresh Token flow. See [Authentication for partners](https://developer.remote.com/docs/authentication-for-partners).
- **Company-scoped access token (assertion)** (`OAuth2CompanyManagerAssertion`) — obtained through the `urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer` grant for a company manager. See [OAuth Assertion](https://developer.remote.com/docs/authorization-method-oauth-assertion).
- **Customer API token** (`CustomerAPIToken`) — generated by the customer on their Integration Settings page, with the scopes they choose there. See [Authorization for customers](https://developer.remote.com/docs/authorization-for-customers).

## Scopes

Any one of the scopes in a token type's row is enough. `all:read` and `all:write` work too.

| Token type | Category | Read only Scope | Write only Scope (read access implicit) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Company-scoped access token | Manage employment documents (`employment_documents`) | View documents (`document:read`) | Manage documents (`document:write`) |
| Company-scoped access token (assertion) | Manage employment documents (`employment_documents`) | View documents (`document:read`) | Manage documents (`document:write`) |
| Customer API token | Manage employment documents (`employment_documents`) | View documents (`document:read`) | Manage documents (`document:write`) |
