EOR contract amendments

The EOR-Contract Amendment API allows clients to modify contract terms through a structured approval process while ensuring compliance with predefined rules.

An amendment is a change to one or more contract terms, referred to as data points, such as employment type, job title, scope, salary etc. It serves as an additional document created as an addendum to the employment agreement rather than altering the original contract document. The contract entity in the database, including its ID, remains the same—only specific values, like salary, are updated with new effective dates.

Amendments can be initiated by either the client or Deel. The process involves multiple steps, including review and approval by both the client and the employee. Modification and approval rules vary based on the amended data point and country-specific regulations.

Amendment flow overview

Scenario when client requests an amendment

Client creates an amendment.
Client confirms the amendment.
Depending on the amendment items, the change could be instant or require acceptance from the employee and Deel. The status is returned in the response.
If the amendment is not instant, Deel reviews the amendment and sends it to the employee.
The employee reviews and signs using the Employee signs approved amendment endpoint.

Scenario when deel requests an amendment

Deel creates an amendment.
Client reviews the amendment and either accepts (using Client accepts amendment) or cancels (using Client Cancels Amendment).
If accepted, the employee reviews and signs using the Employee signs approved amendment endpoint.

When does deel create amendments?

Deel may create amendments in the following cases:

By client request: When a client requests a change that requires Deel’s involvement.
For compliance reasons: When contract adjustments are needed to meet legal or regulatory requirements.
For changes not available to clients: Some modifications can only be made through an admin amendment due to system constraints or policy restrictions.

Amendment effective date

The effective date is the date when the amendment becomes active.
Currently, it is set to the date of the amendment creation. And is not available for modification.
Amendment will be active when all parts will be signed by the employee, reviewed by the Deel Admin and accepted by client.

Webhook events

Webhooks trigger at each step of the amendment process, providing real-time status updates.

Event	Description
EOR_AMENDMENT_V2_IN_REVIEW	Triggered when a client creates an amendment. Sent after the amendment is confirmed.
EOR_AMENDMENT_V2_CLIENT_SIGN	Triggered when Deel creates an amendment. Sent after a Deel admin creates the amendment.
EOR_AMENDMENT_V2_EMPLOYEE_SIGN	Triggered when a client accepts an amendment created by Deel. Sent after client review and acceptance.
EOR_AMENDMENT_V2_CLIENT_ACTIVE	Triggered when an amendment becomes active. Sent once all necessary approvals are completed.
EOR_AMENDMENT_V2_CLIENT_REJECTED	Triggered when an amendment is canceled. Sent when a Deel admin rejects the amendment.
EOR_AMENDMENT_V2_CLIENT_VOID	Triggered when an amendment is voided. Sent when the void deadline has passed for an in-progress amendment, meaning it can no longer become active.

Amendment types

Each amendment has a type that determines how it will be processed. The type is returned in the response when creating or updating an amendment. It is determined based on the amendment settings and the data points being amended.

An amendment can have one of the following types:

INSTANT: The amendment is activated immediately after the client confirms it. No review by Deel or employee signature is required.
AUTOMATED: The amendment is activated once the employee signs it. Deel review is not required.
LEGAL or OPS: The amendment requires review by Deel because at least one data point is configured to require internal review. The difference between LEGAL and OPS is purely internal and relates to how the review is conducted. For example, it may involve document preparation. After Deel completes the review, the amendment is sent to the employee for review and signature. The amendment is activated once the employee signs it.
DISABLED: The amendment contains at least one data point that is restricted from being changed by the amendment settings.
CUSTOM: The amendment is manually created by a Deel admin.

📘
If at least one data point requires review by Deel (i.e., LEGAL or OPS), the amendment type is set
accordingly. Any data points that would otherwise be INSTANT or AUTOMATED will follow the same review and activation process as LEGAL or OPS amendments.

Examples

Example 1: germany (instant amendment)

In this example for Germany, both holiday increase and time-off type change will be instant and will be
activated once the amendment is active. We can see the type in the type field, and in items, all data points have an INSTANT type:

{
  "type": "INSTANT",
  "items": [
    {
      "data_point": "holidays",
      "id": "59d9a2d5-9ea0-4f7f-8ac0-1db66e62d9fa",
      "item": "holidaysIncrease",
      "type": "INSTANT",
      "previous_value": "6",
      "new_value": "12"
    },
    {
      "data_point": "timeOffType",
      "id": "78743852-4dea-4b7c-bbac-44828a7d9b97",
      "item": "timeOffType",
      "type": "INSTANT",
      "previous_value": "STANDARD",
      "new_value": "SPECIFIC"
    }
  ]
}

Example 2: Greece (legal amendment)

For Greece, the same data points require Deel review because one of the items has the LEGAL type:

{
  "type": "LEGAL",
  "items": [
    {
      "data_point": "holidays",
      "id": "f783003f-777f-425a-9a14-faf6457b7585",
      "item": "holidaysIncrease",
      "type": "INSTANT",
      "previous_value": "6",
      "new_value": "10"
    },
    {
      "data_point": "timeOffType",
      "id": "d9dffd0a-6443-4992-9aa7-d859bd9d4d4d",
      "item": "timeOffType",
      "type": "LEGAL",
      "previous_value": "STANDARD",
      "new_value": "SPECIFIC"
    }
  ]
}

Amendment statuses

Amendment statuses are provided in an array within the API response. Users should check the latest relevant status to determine the amendment's current state.

Status	Description
Draft	The amendment is in draft state and can be modified.
Active	The amendment is active.
Cancelled	The amendment is canceled.
AwaitingSignature.SOW.PendingClientSignature	Awaiting client acceptance, used when the amendment is created by Deel.
AwaitingSignature.EA.PendingEmployeeSignature	Pending employee signature, used when the amendment is accepted by the client and Deel.
PreparingDocuments.AmendmentRequested.EA.PendingDocumentSubmit	Pending review by Deel, used when the amendment type is Legal or Ops.
PreparingDocuments.AmendmentRequested.SOW.PendingDocumentSubmit	Pending review by Deel, used when the amendment type is Legal or Ops.

Example amendment status array and explanation

Below is an example of an amendment status array retrieved from the API response:

[
  {
    "name": "PreparingDocuments",
    "friendly_name": "Preparing documents",
    "_amendment_flow_status": {
      "created_at": "2025-03-19T17:15:02.053Z"
    }
  },
  {
    "name": "PreparingDocuments.AmendmentRequested",
    "friendly_name": "Amendment requested",
    "_amendment_flow_status": {
      "created_at": "2025-03-19T17:15:02.053Z"
    }
  },
  {
    "name": "PreparingDocuments.AmendmentRequested.SOW.PendingDocumentSubmit",
    "friendly_name": "Awaiting review",
    "_amendment_flow_status": {
      "created_at": "2025-03-19T17:15:02.053Z"
    }
  }
]

In this example:

The amendment is currently in the PreparingDocuments phase.
The amendment request has been logged (PreparingDocuments.AmendmentRequested).
The amendment is pending review by Deel (PreparingDocuments.AmendmentRequested.SOW.PendingDocumentSubmit), meaning further actions are required before proceeding.

Retrieve contracts (client)

Step 1: Retrieve the contractId

curl --location -g --request GET '{{host}}/rest/v2/contracts?limit=2&sort_by=worker_name&order_direction=desc' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {{token}}'

Retrieve amendment settings (client)

You can retrieve available settings and possible amendment options by specifying the contract_oid. Settings are generated based on the contract and country-specific rules and country specific amendment settings.

curl --location -g --request GET '{{host}}/rest/v2/eor/amendments/{{contract_oid}}/amendment-settings' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {{token}}'

Response example

[
  {
    "data_point": "noticePeriodType",
    "rules": [
      {
        "nullable": false,
        "is_editable": true,
        "possible_options": [
          "STANDARD",
          "CUSTOM"
        ],
        "requires": {
          "employment_type": "Full-time"
        }
      },
      {
        "nullable": false,
        "is_editable": true,
        "possible_options": [
          "STANDARD",
          "CUSTOM"
        ],
        "requires": {
          "employment_type": "Part-time"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
]

How amendment settings work

Each data_point represents an amendable contract attribute.
Amendments are restricted based on requires conditions.
All fields in the requires object must match either the current contract or the new amendment data to allow
modification. This means that if a field is specified in the requires object, its value must be present and match in either the existing contract data or the data provided in the amendment request.
Numeric fields must respect min and max constraints.
possible_options lists valid values for the data point.
is_editable indicates if the data point can be changed. Currently in existing API version, we don’t share the reason why it is not editable. It could be due to country or amendment settings, other pending amendments present (e.g. currency), etc.
additional_details provide business logic notes and validation constraints.
It could also include min_date and max_date in format YYYY-MM-DD. Example 2025-06-17

Examples of amendment rules

Ensuring required fields exist in contract or amendment request:

To match this rule, contract_term: "Definite" must exist either in the current contract or in the amendment request body.

{
    "nullable": false,
    "is_editable": true,
    "min_date": "2025-06-02",
    "requires": {
        "contract_term": "Definite"
    }
}

Employment type restriction:

This rule ensures employment_type can only be Full-time if contract_term is Indefinite.

{
    "nullable": false,
    "is_editable": true,
    "possible_options": ["Full-time"],
    "requires": { "contract_term": "Indefinite" }
}

Numeric constraints:

This rule enforces minimum and maximum values while ensuring the requirement for employment_type is met.

{
    "nullable": false,
    "is_editable": true,
    "min": 6,
    "max": 12,
    "requires": { "employment_type": "Full-time" }
}

External validation example:

This rule ensures that validation is handled externally.

{
    "nullable": false,
    "is_editable": true,
    "external_validation": true
}

Create or update a draft amendment (client)

You can create or update an amendment by specifying the contract_oid.

curl --location -g --request POST '{{host}}/rest/v2/eor/amendments/{{contract_oid}}' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {{token}}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "data": {
        "time_off_type": "SPECIFIC",
        "holidays": 109082,
        "employment_type": "Part-time",
        "id": "5bbd6aa1-4f00-494e-b031-73c066140b4e"
    }
}'

id is optional used to update draft amendment, if not provided, a new amendment will be created.

400 bad request - validation errors and disabled amendments

When an amendment request fails validation, the API returns a 400 Bad Request response with details about validationerrors and disabled amendments.

External apis for amendments

Seniority id amendment

To amend seniorityId, use the following API to retrieve the available seniority levels:

Get Seniority List

The retrieved seniorityId should be included in the amendment request.

Job title and scope amendment

To amend jobTitle or scope, the values must be validated before proceeding. This can be done using the Validate Data Points API.

Specific settings for `probationperiod`

The probationPeriod settings may include the following configurations:

{
  "rule": "ONE_QUARTER_OF_CONTRACT_DURATION",
  "cap": 100
}

Additionally, tenure-based rules may be specified as follows:

{
  "minEmploymentDuration": 6,
  "maxEmploymentDuration": 12,
  "employmentDurationType": "MONTH",
  "probationPeriod": 90
}

General rules:

For Indefinite contracts, the probation period must be between 90 and 180 days, regardless of whether the employment type is Full-time or Part-time.
For Definite contracts, the probation period has a minimum of 20 days, but the maximum value is dynamically calculated.

Dynamic calculation for definite contracts:

When the contract term is Definite, the maximum probation period is determined based on the total contract
duration (contractDurationInDays) and a country-specific rule (eorCountryData.maxProbationTypeForDefinite):

HALF_OF_CONTRACT_DURATION:

Maximum probation period is half of the contract duration.
Example: If a contract lasts 180 days, the max probation period is 180 / 2 = 90 days.

ONE_QUARTER_OF_CONTRACT_DURATION:

Maximum probation period is one-fourth of the contract duration.
Example: If a contract lasts 180 days, the max probation period is 180 / 4 = 45 days.

Default Case (ONE_THIRD_OF_CONTRACT_DURATION):

If no specific rule applies, the max probation period is one-third of the contract duration.
Example: If a contract lasts 180 days, the max probation period is 180 / 3 = 60 days.

Cap on maximum probation period:

If the additional_details field contains a cap value, the calculated maximum probation period must be lower
than the cap.
This cap limitation only applies when the probation period is determined based on:
- HALF_OF_CONTRACT_DURATION
- ONE_QUARTER_OF_CONTRACT_DURATION
- ONE_THIRD_OF_CONTRACT_DURATION
Example:
- If the contract duration is 180 days and the calculation method is HALF_OF_CONTRACT_DURATION, the max
  probation would be 90 days.
- However, if a cap of 60 days exists in additional_details, the max probation must be limited to 60 days.

This ensures that the probation period for Definite contracts remains proportional to the total contract length
while complying with country-specific regulations and additional constraints.

📘
probationPeriod settings for Definite contracts can only have the above configurations.

Specific settings for notice period after probation rules

The noticePeriodAfterProbation data point follows specific rules based on the employment type and notice period type.

General rules:

Applicable only when notice_period_type is set to CUSTOM.
The minimum and maximum notice period values range from 0 to 12 weeks.
Notice period rules differ for Full-time and Part-time employees.
A business constraint mandates that the notice period before probation must always be shorter than the notice period after probation.

Tenure-based notice period:

Only noticePeriodAfterProbation can have tenure-based rules.
Different rules apply based on the contract duration.
The contract duration dictates the applicable notice period limits.

Example rule definition:

{
  "data_point": "noticePeriodAfterProbation",
  "rules": [
    {
      "nullable": true,
      "min": 0,
      "max": 12,
