Changed on

Updates an employment. Use this endpoint to:

  • modify employment states for testing
  • Backdate employment start dates

This endpoint will respond with a 404 outside of the Sandbox environment.

partner_external_id cannot be updated here and is ignored if sent, like any other unsupported field. Set it with PATCH /api/eor/v1/employments/{employment_id} instead.

For updating an employment's parameters outside of testing purposes, use this Employment update endpoint.

  • Company-scoped access token (OAuth2AuthorizationCode) — obtained through the Authorization Code flow or the Refresh Token flow. See Authentication for partners.
