Latencies may vary from seconds to minutes depending on the provider. ## OpenAPI ````yaml post /employer/benefits/{benefit_id} openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: API Reference version: '2020-09-17' contact: {} description: >- The Finch HRIS API provides a unified way to connect to a multitide of HRIS systems. The API requires an access token issued by Finch. By default, Organization and Payroll requests use Finch's [Data Syncs](/developer-resources/Data-Syncs). If a request is made before the initial sync has completed, Finch will request data live from the provider. The latency on live requests may range from seconds to minutes depending on the provider and batch size. For automated integrations, Deductions requests (both read and write) are always made live to the provider. Latencies may range from seconds to minutes depending on the provider and batch size. Employer products are specified by the product parameter, a space-separated list of products that your application requests from an employer authenticating through Finch Connect. Valid product names are— - `company`: Read basic company data - `directory`: Read company directory and organization structure - `individual`: Read individual data, excluding income and employment data - `employment`: Read individual employment and income data - `payment`: Read payroll and contractor related payments by the company - `pay_statement`: Read detailed pay statements for each individual - `benefits`: Create and manage deductions and contributions and enrollment for an employer [![Open in Postman](https://run.pstmn.io/button.svg)](https://god.gw.postman.com/run-collection/21027137-08db0929-883d-4094-a9ce-dbf5a9bee4a4?action=collection%2Ffork&collection-url=entityId%3D21027137-08db0929-883d-4094-a9ce-dbf5a9bee4a4%26entityType%3Dcollection%26workspaceId%3D1edf19bc-e0a8-41e9-ac55-481a4b50790b) servers: - url: https://api.tryfinch.com description: '' security: [] tags: - name: Organization - name: Payroll - name: Deductions - name: Management - name: Sandbox paths: /employer/benefits/{benefit_id}: parameters: - schema: type: string name: benefit_id in: path required: true post: tags: - Deductions summary: Update Deduction description: Updates an existing company-wide deduction or contribution operationId: update-company-benefits parameters: - name: entity_ids in: query required: false description: The entity IDs to specify which entities' data to access. schema: type: array items: type: string format: uuid minItems: 1 maxItems: 1 example: - 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000 style: form explode: true - $ref: '#/components/parameters/API-Version' - $ref: '#/components/parameters/Content-Type' requestBody: content: application/json: schema: type: object properties: description: type: string description: Updated name or description. responses: '200': description: OK content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/UpdateCompanyBenefitResponse' examples: Success: value: benefit_id: 6547e3aa-d887-4a77-bd41-17221e17cce3 job_id: be1b3351-a88e-46c2-96e4-c2cf38e529a7 '400': description: Bad Request '404': description: Benefit Not Found security: - bearerAuth: [] x-codeSamples: - lang: JavaScript source: >- import Finch from '@tryfinch/finch-api'; const client = new Finch({ accessToken: 'My Access Token', }); const updateCompanyBenefitResponse = await client.hris.benefits.update('benefit_id'); console.log(updateCompanyBenefitResponse.benefit_id); - lang: Python source: |- from finch import Finch client = Finch( access_token="My Access Token", ) update_company_benefit_response = client.hris.benefits.update( benefit_id="benefit_id", ) print(update_company_benefit_response.benefit_id) - lang: Go source: "package main\n\nimport (\n\t\"context\"\n\t\"fmt\"\n\n\t\"github.com/Finch-API/finch-api-go\"\n\t\"github.com/Finch-API/finch-api-go/option\"\n)\n\nfunc main() {\n\tclient := finchgo.NewClient(\n\t\toption.WithAccessToken(\"My Access Token\"),\n\t)\n\tupdateCompanyBenefitResponse, err := client.HRIS.Benefits.Update(\n\t\tcontext.TODO(),\n\t\t\"benefit_id\",\n\t\tfinchgo.HRISBenefitUpdateParams{},\n\t)\n\tif err != nil {\n\t\tpanic(err.Error())\n\t}\n\tfmt.Printf(\"%+v\\n\", updateCompanyBenefitResponse.BenefitID)\n}\n" - lang: Java source: |- package com.tryfinch.api.example; import com.tryfinch.api.client.FinchClient; import com.tryfinch.api.client.okhttp.FinchOkHttpClient; import com.tryfinch.api.models.HrisBenefitUpdateParams; import com.tryfinch.api.models.UpdateCompanyBenefitResponse; public final class Main { private Main() {} public static void main(String[] args) { FinchClient client = FinchOkHttpClient.builder() .fromEnv() .accessToken("My Access Token") .build(); UpdateCompanyBenefitResponse updateCompanyBenefitResponse = client.hris().benefits().update("benefit_id"); } } - lang: Kotlin source: |- package com.tryfinch.api.example import com.tryfinch.api.client.FinchClient import com.tryfinch.api.client.okhttp.FinchOkHttpClient import com.tryfinch.api.models.HrisBenefitUpdateParams import com.tryfinch.api.models.UpdateCompanyBenefitResponse fun main() { val client: FinchClient = FinchOkHttpClient.builder() .fromEnv() .accessToken("My Access Token") .build() val updateCompanyBenefitResponse: UpdateCompanyBenefitResponse = client.hris().benefits().update("benefit_id") } - lang: Ruby source: >- require "finch_api" finch = FinchAPI::Client.new(access_token: "My Access Token") update_company_benefit_response = finch.hris.benefits.update("benefit_id") puts(update_company_benefit_response) components: parameters: API-Version: name: Finch-API-Version in: header required: true schema: type: string default: '2020-09-17' format: date pattern: ([12]\d{3}-(0[1-9]|1[0-2])-(0[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01])) description: >- Header used to specify the version for a given API request.
