How to retrieve LEAVES for employee?

[pdolinaj]

I am retrieving list of all employees:

$data = $xero->load(\XeroPHP\Models\Accounting\Employee::class)->execute();

How can I retrieve all leaves for this employee?

vendor/calcinai/xero-php/src/XeroPHP/Models/PayrollUK/Employee/Leave.php

Is there a way to retrieve more data about employee, e.g. email address? I can only access the user ID + First Name + Last Name.

Hi @pdolinaj, it looks like this might need to be added to the model. Have a look at the Employee/Employment model as a guide (it uses the same api structure) and feel free to make a PR.

Sing out if you have any issues.

Thanks, I'll have a look at it.

On another note, I was trying to create a Leave for employee but I'm facing 2 issues:

           $xero = new \XeroPHP\Application($access_token, $tenant_id);
            $employee_id = 'e752b13c-a157-4bc1-92aa-493c588a5365';
            $leave = new \XeroPHP\Models\PayrollUK\Employee\Leave($xero);
            $leave->setStartDate(new \DateTime('2023-07-01'));
            $leave->setEndDate(new \DateTime('2023-07-07'));
            $leave->setDescription('Holiday Test');
            $leave->save();

1. It complains that it's missing the LeaveTypeId

XeroPHP\Remote\Exception XeroPHP\Models\PayrollUK\Employee\Leave::$LeaveTypeID is mandatory and is either missing or empty.

2. There's no way to set the EmployeeId when creating the leave.

Any ideas please?

This one would need an update to make it work I reckon since you actually need to send to a different URL, and I'm not sure how the codebase handles this.

POST https://api.xero.com/payroll.xro/2.0/employees/35cdd697-c9fc-4931-b579-a18cb8b6fe14/leave

So it might need a change to getAPIStem() to add the employee ID to the URL if one exists?
