GET Specific Employee – Use Cases:
-
This API endpoint will allow an API user to retrieve an employee record for a specific employee ID.
-
For optimal use, pair this API endpoint with the Paylocity Employee Change Web Hook. This ensures that you get notified whenever there's a change in the employee's data in Paylocity. Along with the notification, you will receive the Paylocity Company ID and Employee ID corresponding to the employee whose data has been modified. You can then utilize the GET Specific Employee API endpoint to access the most recent version of the updated employee record.
