**Endpoint:**
`GET` [https://api.kombo.dev/v1/hris/employees/form](https://api.kombo.dev/v1/hris/employees/form)
**Response:**
You'll receive a JSON schema describing required fields, data types, labels, validation rules, and unified keys. Below is more information on how this schema is built.
**Note:**
The schema fields you receive are different for every HRIS and often even by instance. (e.g. `firstName`, `startDate`, `workLocation` in the example response)
**Hiring into a position or requisition?** Pass an optional
`staffing_entity_id` query parameter to scope the form — whenever possible
form fields will be pre-filtered to the values linked to the selected staffing entity.
This includes Kombo unisversal fields like `department` or `location`, but also deeply
tool specific fields like `payGroup` from UKG Pro.
See the [staffing entities in create employee guide](/hris/implementation-guide/staffing-entities-in-create-employee)
for the full workflow.
