Create an employee
Register a new employee for the authenticated company (resolved from the API key, never from the payload). first_name, last_name, email, employment_type (full_time/part_time), contract_hours, hire_date and ccaa are required; tax_id and job_title are optional. Returns the created employee with its generated id (UUID v7). Active employees count towards the workforce module seat billing.

Header Parameters
Client-generated opaque key (up to 255 characters; UUID v7 recommended) that makes retries safe: the first response is cached and replayed for repeats without re-executing the mutation. Reusing a key with a different body returns 409 idempotency_key_reused. See the Idempotency guide.
1 <= length <= 255Pin the API version (YYYY-MM-DD, Stripe-style date versioning) for this request; omit to use the key's pinned version, or the latest if none. Unsupported version → 400 unsupported_api_version; malformed → 400 parameter_invalid_format. The effective version is echoed in the Factuarea-Version response header. See the Versioning guide.
dateOperate on behalf of a child company (gestoría master key): pass its public id (UUID v7) and the request runs against that child's data without changing the key's scope, tier or environment (omit to use the key's own company). Invalid UUID → 400 parameter_invalid_uuid; unknown or non-owned id → 404 profile_not_found. See the Acting on behalf guide.
