# Employee updated

`POST employeeUpdated` (webhook)

Triggered when an employee's field is updated.

The payload includes only the fields that were explicitly changed. Calculated
fields affected by an update (e.g., age when birthDate changes) are not included.

This event is also sent when a <a href="https://apidocs.hibob.com/reference/post_webhook_table-entry-created" target="_blank">table entry</a> create or update causes employee-level fields to change; the payload then contains the affected field IDs in <code>fieldUpdates</code>. Bank accounts and custom tables do not trigger this event when their entries change.

In the right panel, open **Examples** and select **Payload Example** to see a real payload.
