# Retrieve the current salary record

GET https://test.api.kota.io/employees/{employee_id}/salaries/current

Retrieves the `salary` record currently in effect for an `employee` — the one with the latest `effective_from` date on or before today.

Reference: https://docs.kota.io/api-reference/salaries/retrieve-current-salary

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Authorization header using the Bearer scheme

## Servers

- `https://test.api.kota.io` (test, default)
- `https://api.kota.io` (production)

## Request

### Path parameters

- `employee_id` (string, required)

### Headers

- `X-Platform-Id` (string, optional) — The target platform id. Required only when calling with a dashboard (WorkOS AuthKit) access token instead of a platform API key — the token carries no platform claim, so the caller must say which platform it means. Ignored for platform API key / embed session token callers.
