Update company employee.

This endpoint allows you to update specific fields in an employee's record in Bob.

Important: Although this is a PUT method, it behaves like a PATCH request—you only need to send the fields you want to update, and any other fields will remain unchanged.

Before using this endpoint, read the instructions on how to update employee data. You can find them here: Update Employee data.

Notes:

  1. Only employee fields are supported; table updates are not allowed via this endpoint.
  2. Position fields cannot be updated using this endpoint.
