Bug Fixes

JSON Schemas which include optional enumeration types now correctly accept null values

Previously, JSON Schemas which included an optional enumeration type would represent this as:

json
1{
2 "my_option": {
3 "oneOf": [
4 {"const": "yes"},
5 {"const": "no"}
6 ],
7 "type": ["string", "null"]
8 }
9}

Where passing a null value for my_option would fail to validate, as null is not “yes” or “no”.

Now, this same type will instead be validated by a schema of form:

json
1{
2 "my_option": {
3 "oneOf": [
4 {"const": "yes"},
5 {"const": "no"},
6 {"const": null}
7 ],
8 "type": ["string", "null"]
9 }
10}

Which makes it possible to pass a null value for these optional parameters.

2024-03-13

Feature

New endpoint was added to show a single company manager

Give the user_id of a company manager, use GET /v1/company-managers/:user_id . Docs here.

2024-02-28

Improvement

New field was added to create an expense in the existing endpoint

Both single object receipt or a 1-element list of receipts can be used to create an expense with the POST /v1/expenses endpoint.

If both receipt and receipts are in the request body, the endpoint will respond with a 400 Bad Request error.

An expense can be created using receipt request body property with POST /v1/expenses, for example:

json
1{
2 "employment_id": "9d79f993-9180-4a93-8f3e-b07fa33fc8dc",
3 "amount": 212,
4 "category": "education_training",
5 "currency": "EUR",
6 "expense_date": "2024-02-27",
7 "receipt": {
8 "content": "<binary content of the file encoded in base64>",
9 "name": "expense.pdf"
10 },
11 "tax_amount": 23,
12 "timezone": "Australia/Sydney",
13 "title": "Coursera Python Course"
14}

Or it can be created using receipts request body property with POST /v1/expenses, for example:

json
1{
2 "employment_id": "9d79f993-9180-4a93-8f3e-b07fa33fc8dc",
3 "amount": 212,
4 "category": "education_training",
5 "currency": "EUR",
6 "expense_date": "2024-02-27",
7 "receipts": [
8 {
9 "content": "<binary content of the file encoded in base64>",
10 "name": "expense.pdf"
11 }
12 ],
13 "tax_amount": 23,
14 "timezone": "Australia/Sydney",
15 "title": "Coursera Python Course"
16}

2024-02-27

Improvement

2024-02-22

Improvement

New endpoint to download expense receipt by id

A new receipt download endpoint and a new receipts property have been added to expense objects to support multiple receipts per expense.

The new receipts property is added to the response for GET v1/expenses and GET v1/expenses/{id}.

Example:

json
1{
2 "data":{
3 "expense":{
4 "id":"9d79f993-9180-4a93-8f3e-b07fa33fc8dc",
5 "reason":null,
6 "status":"pending",
7 "title":"Coursera Python Course",
8 "category":"education_training",
9 "currency":{
10 "code":"EUR",
11 "name":"European Euro",
12 "symbol":"€"
13 },
14 "amount":986,
15 "tax_amount":241,
16 "notes":null,
17 "invoice_period":null,
18 "reviewed_at":null,
19 "employment_id":"611d3ed7-23c8-4c02-9349-cc5db5fdea1b",
20 "converted_amount":212,
21 "converted_currency":{
22 "code":"EUR",
23 "name":"European Euro",
24 "symbol":"€"
25 },
26 "reviewer":null,
27 "receipts":[
28 {
29 "id":"f03d8525-eead-46ac-a0d9-ab0fc005f74e",
30 "name":"expense-1.pdf",
31 "type":"expense",
32 "inserted_at":"2024-02-22T08:42:30Z"
33 },
34 {
35 "id":"c0c7a920-8b4c-4394-ae23-be121f9e9eb6",
36 "name":"expense-2.pdf",
37 "type":"expense",
38 "inserted_at":"2024-02-22T08:56:11Z"
39 }
40 ],
41 "expense_date":"2024-02-22",
42 "converted_tax_amount":756
43 }
44 }
45}

The id from the receipts property should now be used to expense receipts.

The new endpoint for downloading expense receipts by id is GET /v1/expenses/{expense_id}/receipts/{receipt_id}.

The existing download endpoint, GET /v1/expenses/{expense_id}/receipt, has been deprecated but will continue to work.

Feature

Enhancements to Employment Creation Process

  • Integration of Department id and name Fields:
    • Endpoint Update: The POST v1/employments endpoint now supports the department object within the employment creation payload. This object can include either a name field for creating and associating a new department or an id field for associating an existing department with the newly created employment record.
    • Usage in Employment Creation:
      1. For Existing Departments: To associate an employment with an existing department, include the department.id field in your request payload.
      2. For New Departments: To create and associate a new department with an employment, include the department.name field in your request payload.
      • Important Note: Only one of these fields, id or name, should be included in the department object for each request to avoid processing errors.

Examples of Employment Creation Payloads

  • Associating an Existing Department:
json
1{
2 "country_code": "CAN",
3 "basic_information": {
4 "name": "John Doe",
5 "job_title": "Software Engineer",
6 "email": "john.doe@example.com",
7 "provisional_start_date": "2024-05-01",
8 "has_seniority_date": "no",
9 "department": {
10 "id": "existing-department-id"
11 },
12 "manager": {
13 "id": "manager-id"
14 }
15 },
16 "type": "employee"
17}
  • Creating and Associating a New Department:
json
1{
2 "country_code": "CAN",
3 "basic_information": {
4 "name": "Jane Smith",
5 "job_title": "Product Manager",
6 "email": "jane.smith@example.com",
7 "provisional_start_date": "2024-06-15",
8 "has_seniority_date": "no",
9 "department": {
10 "name": "Innovation Department"
11 },
12 "manager": {
13 "id": "manager-id"
14 }
15 },
16 "type": "employee"
17}

These examples illustrate how to correctly use the department feature within the employment creation process, either by associating with an existing department or by creating a new one. Please ensure that the payload for your employment creation requests adheres to these guidelines.

2024-01-29

Feature

Adding a new field calledobserved_day to Holiday.

Depending on the country, not all public holidays are celebrated, or observed, on the actual official date of the holiday. When this happens, it’s called an observed holiday – which ensures that employees will be able to enjoy a day off of work despite the actual holiday landing on a weekend day. For example, in the United States, when Independence Day (July 4) lands on a Saturday, it is observed on the Friday before. If it happens to land on a Sunday, it is observed on the following Monday (July 5).

2024-01-26

2024-01-11

Improvement

Introducing fields for Department ID and Name in responses to Show, Update, and List Employments

Previously, when an employment held an association to a department, only the department’s name was included in the response as the department field on the employment.

Now, the unique department_id is also included in the employment response data and both department and department_id added consistently to these endpoints where not already present before.

2023-06-26

Improvements

Introducing Detailed Metadata for the Contract Details - Benefits Field

Added a x-jsf-presentation keyword under the benefits field’s options in the contract_details JSON schema. The x-jsf-presentation keywords contain a meta keyword, which presents detailed information regarding the benefit option.

Previously, the benefits field only contained a label for the various benefit options, such as the following example:

json
1"benefits": {
2 "properties": {
3 "health": {
4 "oneOf": [
5 {
6 "const": "Standard - Employee Only (Canada Life - Standard Health Employee Only; Canada Life - Standard Dental Employee Only; Canada Life - Standard Vision; Canada Life - Standard Life; Canada Life - Standard AD&D; Canada Life - Standard Short Term Disability; Canada Life - Standard Long Term Disability)",
7 "title": "Standard - Employee Only - $130.00/mo + variable costs",
8 },
9 { ... another tier ... }
10 { ... another tier ... }
11 ]
12 }
13 }
14}

This data significantly lacked in detail and omitted detailed information about the benefit, otherwise available through the Remote Employ platform.

With the new meta keyword, significantly more information is provided through the JSON schema:

json
1"benefits": {
2 "properties": {
3 "health": {
4 "oneOf": [
5 {
6 "const": "Standard - Employee Only (Canada Life - Standard Health Employee Only; Canada Life - Standard Dental Employee Only; Canada Life - Standard Vision; Canada Life - Standard Life; Canada Life - Standard AD&D; Canada Life - Standard Short Term Disability; Canada Life - Standard Long Term Disability)",
7 "title": "Standard - Employee Only - $130.00/mo + variable costs",
8 "x-jsf-presentation": {
9 "description": "Medical Insurance, Drug Prescriptions, Dental Insurance, Vision Insurance, Life Insurance and AD&D Insurance (1x annual Salary), Dependant and Spouse Life, long and short term disability (66.7% weekly earnings - maximums apply).",
10 "inputType": "radio",
11 "meta": {
12 "detailsUrl": "https://remote.com/benefits-guide/employee-benefits-canada-health-standard-single",
13 "displayCost": "$130.00/mo + variable costs",
14 "displayCostDisclaimer": "Some plans in this benefit package include premium costs based on the employee salary. These costs are not included in the listed monthly estimate.",
15 "providerName": "Canada Life",
16 "tierName": "Standard"
17 }
18 }
19 },
20 { ... another tier ... }
21 { ... another tier ... }
22 ]
23 }
24 }
25}

This meta aims to allow Remote API developers to match the Remote Employ UI as closely as possible.

Please visit the Working with Benefits guide for more details, API specs, and demo.

Improvements

Improving the Time Off Balance endpoint’s entitlement expiration date parameter

  • Added a can_expire parameter to the GET /timeoff-balances response, indicating whether a time off entitlement can expire or not.
  • Improved the expiry_date parameter of the GET /timeoff-balances response. Previously, when a time off entitlement did not have an expiry date, the expiry_date parameter’s value would be "" (empty string). With this change, its value will be null.
json

4 "timeoff_balance": {
5 "timeoff_entitlements": [
6 {
7 "expiry_date": "",

9 },
10 ...

Features

Introducing Webhooks and Webhook Events

Added 2 new endpoints for managing webhooks and 3 webhook events to subscribe when registering webhook callbacks.

The 2 new endpoints for managing webhooks are as follows:

  • POST /webhook-callbacks: Register a webhook URL to be called when any one of the subscribed events take place in Remote.
  • DELETE /webhook-callbacks/:id: Delete a previously registered webhook URL so it’s no longer called when the subscribed events take place in Remote.

API documentation for registering webhook URLs can be found here.

Additionally, the 3 webhook events you can subscribe are as follows:

  • employment.onboarding.completed: Triggered when an employment’s onboarding is completed and there are no more documentations left to check.
  • employment.onboarding_task.completed: Triggered when an employment’s onboarding task is completed.
  • payslip.released: Triggered when a payslip is ready and available for an employee.

API documentation for webhook events can be found in their respective categories (Employments and Payslips).

Introducing the Payslip Download Endpoint

When the payslip.released webhook event occurs, only the ID of the payslip is included in the webhook callback request. A new endpoint has been introduced to enable downloading of payslips: GET /payslips/:payslip_id/download.

API documentation for the endpoint to download a payslip can be found here.
