  title: WorkMotion Partner Absences Employees API
  description: 'Partner / Open API for the WorkMotion global employment and Employer of Record (EOR) platform. It exposes employees (talents), employment contracts, onboarding workflows, absences and time-off, documents, employment cost calculations, and webhook subscriptions so that HRIS and payroll systems can integrate with WorkMotion''s managed employment infrastructure across 160+ countries.

    NOTE: WorkMotion''s partner API is access-gated and its reference documentation is not fully published to the open web. The paths and schemas below are a faithful, honest model of the documented product surfaces (employees, contracts, onboarding, absences, documents, cost calculator, webhooks) rather than a verbatim copy of an official OpenAPI file. Verify exact paths, fields, and semantics against the WorkMotion partner documentation during reconciliation.'
