# Employment Hero

Employment Hero connects to Cakewalk with an application you create in Employment Hero's Developer Portal. The shared flow in [Connecting an HRIS](/docs/platform-overview/connections-and-integrations/connecting-an-hris.md) covers what syncs and what happens after you save; this page covers the Employment Hero side.

### ✅ Before You Start

* Use an owner or admin-type account to complete the connection flow.
* Employment Hero restricts the available endpoints by account level and restricts which employees can be read. For example, employees cannot see owner information.

### 🛠 Connect

1. In Cakewalk, go to **Settings → Data Sources → Users** and select Employment Hero.
2. Sign in to the Employment Hero dashboard and click your account name in the top right corner.
3. Click **Developer Portal**.
4. In the developer portal, click **Add Application**.
5. Copy the Name, Redirect URI and Scopes from the connection flow into the new application, then click **create**. The flow shows the exact scopes to select. There are two instances of the employees:list scope: if you are asked to add it, select both.
6. Copy the Client id and Client secret, paste them back into the connection flow and click **continue**.
7. Click **Sign in with Employment Hero** to authorize the integration.

The first sync starts immediately. Sync details and cadence: [Connecting an HRIS](/docs/platform-overview/connections-and-integrations/connecting-an-hris.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://www.cakewalk.security/docs/platform-overview/connections-and-integrations/identity-sources/employment-hero.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
