Laravel REST Routes with different parameters

I'm building a REST application and I have a doubt about the best practice in case of different routes calling the same controller method.

Example:

Route::post('/company/{id}/people/store', 'PeopleController@store')

Route::post('/people', 'PeopleController@store')

In the first case, I have an extra parameter $company_id to link the person to the company. Is it correct, or I should use a different method for each route?

Usually, you're storing form data, so just add an extra parameter using hidden input:

<input type="hidden" name="company_id" value="{{ $company->id }}">

Then in the store() method you can get this parameter with:

public function store(Request $request)
{
    $companyId = $request->company_id;
