### Overview
The company provisioning API provides a way to create a Gusto company as part of your integration. When you successfully call the API, the API does the following:
* Creates a new company in Gusto.
* Creates a new user in Gusto.
* Makes the new user the primary payroll administrator of the new company.
* Sends a welcome email to the new user.
In the response, you will receive an account claim URL. Redirect the user to this URL to complete their account setup inside of Gusto

Pay periods are the foundation of payroll. Compensation, time & attendance, taxes, and expense reports all rely on when they happened. To begin submitting information for a given payroll, we need to agree on the time period.

By default, this endpoint returns pay periods starting from 6 months ago to the date today.  Use the `start_date` and `end_date` parameters to change the scope of the response.  End dates can be up to 3 months in the future and there is no limit on start dates.

Starting in version '2023-04-01', the eligible_employees attribute was removed from the response.  The eligible employees for a payroll are determined by the employee_compensations returned from the payrolls#prepare endpoint.
