Expose Overtime wage on TimeEntry
Not planned
The TimeEntry object has three properties that are relevant to hourly wage that I can see: regularHours, hourlyWage, and overtimeHours.
While it would be easy to determine labor cost by multiplying regularHours and hourlyWage , I don't see anything that specifies what the hourly wage is being paid out for the overtimeHours worked. Is there somewhere in the API where the overtime multiplier is specified?
This has been a deficiency in our Labor integration for a little while now, being unable to determine Overtime wages because we don't know the hourly rate being paid out for any overtime hours worked. Is there something we are just missing?

Hi Justin,
Unfortunately, our Labor API does not currently expose the overtime factor. This information can be retrieved through Toast web but not through the API. This Toast central article offers some additional information on overtime rules.
I will submit a feature request to our engineering team on your behalf, and let you know if this becomes available in the future.
Our cookbook on labor reporting also does a great job at outlining the information available for these types of reports.
Thanks!

Hey Ann, I would second Justin's request for the OT Configuration to be exposed in the API. That would be very helpful.
Justin - We had to add configuration settings to our product that allow our customers to define the OT rules and then we had to calculate overtime based on our internal config. It has its pros and cons. The con is we have to provide a parallel configuration that can get out of sync with what is setup in Toast. The Pro is that we can support OT calculation rules that Toast currently does not.
