A Pendency represents an occupational exam obligation for an employee — hiring, dismissal, periodic, return to work or risk change. It is the record that tracks the lifecycle from the exam request to completion (ASO issued) or cancellation.

​
Exam types (type_exam)

The complete, canonical set of types is in the endpoint schema (OpenAPI). The table above covers the main ones.

​
Lifecycle

  1. Created — automatically (on hiring/dismissal, etc.) or via the create endpoint.
  2. Pending — awaiting scheduling.
  3. Scheduled — exam booked at a clinic (orchestrated internally by Salú).
  4. Done — exam completed and ASO issued.
  5. Canceled — closed without completion.
Clinic scheduling and performing the exam are managed inside the Salú platform — there is no public endpoint to schedule. Through the public API you create, list and cancel pendencies, and track the status.

​
Create fields

To cancel, provide the pendency_id and, optionally, a note with the reason.

​
Deadlines (due_date)

The exam deadline is computed by the platform per type — for example, the pre-employment exam with a deadline before hiring and the dismissal exam with a deadline after the dismissal date. These values appear in the pendency response.
