Upload the bytes to the File Service first, then reference each file here by `file_id` and its `one_time_secret`; the Files endpoints of this API issue both. Side effects: the files replace whatever was previously submitted against the requirement, and the previous version is archived when document versioning is enabled for the organization. Only Global Payroll contracts are supported. **Token scopes**: `worker:write` Reference: https://developer.deel.com/api/reference/endpoints/workers/submit-worker-contract-compliance-document-files-v-2026-08-25 ## Authentication - `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — ## Authentication The Deel API uses bearer tokens to authenticate requests. All API calls must be made over HTTPS — calls over plain HTTP or without authentication will fail. ```curl curl -X GET 'https://api.letsdeel.com/rest/v2/contracts' \ -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR-TOKEN-HERE' ``` [Learn more about authentication](/api/authentication) - `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Standard OAuth2 security scheme based on https://swagger.io/docs/specification/authentication/ ## Servers - `https://api.letsdeel.com/rest` (Production, default) - `https://api-staging.letsdeel.com/rest` (Demo) ## Request ### Path parameters - `contract_id` (string, required) — Public id of the Global Payroll contract the documents belong to. - `document_id` (string, required) — Public UUID of the compliance document requirement, as returned in `id` by the list endpoint. ### Body (application/json) This endpoint expects an object. - `data` (WorkersContractsContractIdComplianceDocumentsDocumentIdPostRequestBodyContentApplicationJsonSchemaData, required) ## Response ### 204 Files submitted successfully. No response body — read the document back through the list or the single document endpoint to confirm the filenames, where `submission_status` can read `REVIEWING` until the submission is final. ## Errors ### 400 Bad Request Error Bad request — an unusable `file_id` or `one_time_secret`, or a file type outside pdf, png, jpg, jpeg and heic. Multipart bodies and raw storage keys are not accepted. - `errors` (list of WorkersContractsContractIdComplianceDocumentsDocumentIdPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaErrorsItems, required) — Errors that occurred while processing the request. ### 401 Unauthorized Error Unauthorized — the access token is missing, expired or invalid. - `errors` (list of WorkersContractsContractIdComplianceDocumentsDocumentIdPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaErrorsItems, required) — Errors that occurred while processing the request. ### 403 Forbidden Error Forbidden — the requirement is not open for submission, the worker does not hold this contract, or the token lacks the required scope. - `errors` (list of WorkersContractsContractIdComplianceDocumentsDocumentIdPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaErrorsItems, required) — Errors that occurred while processing the request. ### 404 Not Found Error Not found — `document_id` is not part of the contract. - `errors` (list of WorkersContractsContractIdComplianceDocumentsDocumentIdPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaErrorsItems, required) — Errors that occurred while processing the request. ### 412 Precondition Failed Error The files could not be stored against the requirement. Nothing was submitted, so the request can be retried. - `any` ### 422 Unprocessable Entity Error Unprocessable entity — the contract is not a Global Payroll contract, so compliance documents are not available on this endpoint. The error code is `WORKER_TYPE_NOT_SUPPORTED`. - `errors` (list of WorkersContractsContractIdComplianceDocumentsDocumentIdPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaErrorsItems, required) — Errors that occurred while processing the request. ### 429 Too Many Requests Error Too many submissions from this worker in a short window. Submissions are rate limited per authenticated worker: back off and retry rather than looping. - `any` ### 500 Internal Server Error Operation failed. - `request` (ApiErrorRequest, optional) - `errors` (list of ApiError, optional) ## Types ### WorkersContractsContractIdComplianceDocumentsDocumentIdPostRequestBodyContentApplicationJsonSchemaData - `files` (list of WorkersContractsContractIdComplianceDocumentsDocumentIdPostRequestBodyContentApplicationJsonSchemaDataFilesItems, required) — Files to submit against the requirement. Allowed types: pdf, png, jpg, jpeg, heic. ### WorkersContractsContractIdComplianceDocumentsDocumentIdPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaErrorsItems - `code` (string, required) — Machine-readable error code. - `message` (string, required) — Human-readable explanation. - `field` (string, optional, nullable) — Field that caused the error, when the error is about one. ### ApiErrorRequest - `method` (string, optional) — The HTTP method of the failed request - `url` (string, optional) — The relative URL of the failed request - `status` (double, optional) — The status code of the response - `api_req_id` (string, optional) — The request ID of the failed request - `docs` (string, optional) — A link to the official documentation for the requested endpoint resource - `source` (string, optional) — The source handler which produced the returned error - `code` (double, optional) — The code of the source handler which produced the returned error ### ApiError - `message` (string, optional) — A description of the returned error - `path` (string, optional) — The JSON path where input validation failed ### WorkersContractsContractIdComplianceDocumentsDocumentIdPostRequestBodyContentApplicationJsonSchemaDataFilesItems - `file_id` (string, required) — File Service file id. - `content_type` (string, required) — MIME type of the file. - `one_time_secret` (string, required) — File Service one-time secret for that file. - `original_filename` (string, required) — Original filename, extension included. ## Examples **Request** ```json { "data": { "files": [ { "file_id": "c106a26a-21bb-5538-8bf2-57095d1976c1", "content_type": "application/pdf", "one_time_secret": "example-one-time-secret-value", "original_filename": "passport_scan.pdf" } ] } } ``` **SDK Code** ```python Workers_submitWorkerContractComplianceDocumentFiles-v2026-08-25_example import requests url = "https://api.letsdeel.com/rest/workers/contracts/37nex2x/compliance-documents/c106a26a-21bb-5538-8bf2-57095d1976c1" payload = { "data": { "files": [ { "file_id": "c106a26a-21bb-5538-8bf2-57095d1976c1", "content_type": "application/pdf", "one_time_secret": "example-one-time-secret-value", "original_filename": "passport_scan.pdf" } ] } } headers = { "Authorization": "Bearer ", "Content-Type": "application/json" } response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers) print(response.json()) ``` ```javascript Workers_submitWorkerContractComplianceDocumentFiles-v2026-08-25_example const url = 'https://api.letsdeel.com/rest/workers/contracts/37nex2x/compliance-documents/c106a26a-21bb-5538-8bf2-57095d1976c1';
