Update employee emergency contact
Updates the authenticated employee's emergency contact.
The employment is derived from the access token's subject — there is no employment id in the path. The token must be an employee-role token (typically obtained via the OAuth2 assertion grant with subject urn:remote-api:employee:employment:<employment_id>).
This endpoint requires country-specific data. The exact required fields vary depending on which country the authenticated employee's employment is in. Query the Show form schema endpoint with emergency_contact_details as the form name to discover the schema for a given country.
Authentication
This endpoint accepts any one of the following token types:
- Employee-scoped access token (OAuth2Assertion) — obtained through the urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer grant. See OAuth Assertion.
- Company-scoped access token (OAuth2AuthorizationCode) — obtained by the employee through the Authorization Code flow or the Refresh Token flow. See Authentication for partners.
Scopes
Any one of the scopes in a token type's row is enough. all:write works too.
| Token type | Category | Read only Scope | Write only Scope (read access implicit) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Employee-scoped access token | Manage employments (employments) | - | Manage emergency contacts (emergency_contact:write) |
| Company-scoped access token | Manage employments (employments) | - | - |
