compInfo.employmentModel: "eor" when creating a person — or when updating compensation via PUT /v1/persons/{personId}/jobInfo — to employ the worker through Cadana’s Employer of Record. Omit the field for direct employment.
What the Payroll Debit Collects
The employment model determines what the payrolldebit — the amount collected from your business account, returned by GET /v1/payrolls/{payrollId} — includes:
| Direct employment | Employer of Record | |
|---|---|---|
compInfo.employmentModel | omitted | "eor" |
debit collects | Net pay + fees | Gross pay + employer contributions |
| Income tax & statutory deductions | Calculated and shown on the payslip, not collected | Collected |
| Invoice line categories | NET_PAYROLL + fee items | GROSS_PAYROLL + EMPLOYER_CONTRIBUTION |
GET /v1/invoices/{invoiceId} breaks the debit into the line categories above.
