Contractor Payments

Contractor payments are rather simple as there are no taxes for the employer to pay and the contractor is responsible for paying their own taxes. As such we really just need to submit an amount and pay_date in order for Zeal to process a payment.

In this guide

• How to create a contractor payment through the API.
• How to create a contractor payment through the white-label Employer Dashboard.

API

Call Create Contractor Payment.

Note

Remember to replace the placeholders such as {{testApiKey}} in the code samples below.

curl --request POST \
     --url https://api.zeal.com/contractorPayment \
     --header 'Accept: application/json' \
     --header 'Authorization: Bearer {{testApiKey}}' \
     --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     --data '
{
     "approval_required": false,
     "companyID": "{{companyID}}",
     "contractorID": "{{contractorID}}",
     "pay_date": "2022-01-15",
     "amount": 2000,
}
'

With the Contractor Payment in the system, it will automatically be batched and processed by Zeal.
