Justworks Members API

Read employee, contractor, and member information from the Justworks Partner API. Provides access to member profiles, employment history, pay history, custom-field values, and U.S. tax identifiers (SSN) for domestic members. This is the canonical workforce-truth surface a partner integrates against. Uses cursor pagination with a hard cap of 100 items per page.
