# contractorOps.profiles.update

Create or update a contractor's operations profile with contractorId, profile fields, expectedRevision (omit only when no profile exists yet), and idempotencyKey. Changing the pay cadence regenerates future empty pay periods. Changing the declared GST/HST answers stops finance's confirmation from applying and removes the GST/HST it added from payouts that haven't been paid and have no Wise transfer (approved ones go back for approval).
