Get an employee.

Note: Compensation data (pay rate, payment unit, and related fields) represents sensitive employee pay information. When retrieving employee job data, these fields (rate, payment_unit, current_compensation_uuid, compensations) are only returned when the compensations:read scope is included. This allows you to access employee and job metadata without exposing pay rates.
