  title: Remote Employments Work Authorization API
  description: 'Create and manage employment records across the EOR, Global Payroll, and

    PEO employment models on Remote.com. Endpoints cover the full employment

    lifecycle — onboarding, contract management, contract amendments,

    employment status transitions, identity verification, travel letters,

    work-authorization requests, and offboarding.


    Every Remote customer hiring through the platform owns one employment

    record per worker. This API is the authoritative source for that record.'
