# contractorOps.terms.endDecision

Decide about an agreement at or past its end date, with the active terms version id, its expectedRevision, decision, and idempotencyKey. 'continuing' keeps them working and paid without renewing and stops the end-date reminders; 'ending' lets it end, so no new pay periods start after the end date (it does not stop the contractor logging hours or their portal access); null takes the decision back. An end date alone never stops work. To extend an agreement on paper instead, send new terms with a later end date using contractorOps.terms.propose.

## Fields

| Field | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | string (ID) | Yes | The record's ID. |
| `expectedRevision` | integer | Yes | The record's current revision, from the last time you read it. If someone changed the record since, the request is refused with a conflict so you can reload and check before trying again. at most 9007199254740991; greater than 0. |
| `decision` | enum or null | Yes | What you decided. One of: `ending`, `continuing`. |
| `idempotencyKey` | string | Yes | Any unique text you generate once per intended change, so a retried request only happens once. Send it as the Idempotency-Key header instead if you prefer; if you send both they must match. 8–200 characters. |
