Employee → Search
AI-generatedOverview
This node performs a search operation for employees within the HCSS Heavy Job API. It allows users to find employees based on a specified business unit and a search field-value pair, such as searching by employee code or email. This is useful for scenarios where you need to retrieve employee details filtered by specific criteria within a business unit, for example, to verify employee information or to integrate employee data into workflows.
Use Case Examples
- Search for an employee by their unique code within a specific business unit.
- Find an employee by their email address to retrieve contact details or employment status.
Properties

| Business Unit Code Name or ID | Specifies the business unit to which the employee belongs. This is required to scope the search within a particular business unit. |
| Search Field | The field to search by, either 'Code' or 'Email'. This determines which employee attribute the search will filter on. |
| Search Value | The value to search for in the selected search field. This is the actual code or email to match against employee records. |
