WorkMotion Webhooks API

openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: WorkMotion Partner 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.
