Hours & Wages Report
The Hours & Wages report endpoint provides summarized labor data including the amount of time scheduled/worked, earned wages. You are able to specify the report type to use scheduled labor data (scheduled shifts) or actual labor data (time punches). Time punch data are recorded via 7punches or POS integrated data. Additionally, the reports can also include:
- Detailed shift data
- Compliance data
- Tip data
Plan Restricted Endpoint
The user of this endpoint is restricted to The Works or higher 7shifts plan. Please reference the plan requirements guide for more information.
Specifying the Report Type
The report can either return data based the scheduled hours or the worked hours.
When punches is set to false the report will use scheduled data and return schedule hours and the expected wages. The report payload will be similar to the Scheduled Hours & Wages report that can be found in the Reports section of the 7shifts app.
When punches is set to true the report will use punch data from 7punches or a POS labor data and return worked hours & wages. The report payload will be similar to the Worked Hours & Wages report that can be found in the Reports section of the 7shifts app.
Requests Best Practices
The Hours & Wages report endpoint allows you to run reports across an entire company and for an unlimited time range, although in most cases this request will require a signifiant time to process and you will receive a 500 or 502 time out error. HTTP requests have a maximum time of 30 seconds to complete execution. Add filters (query parameters) to your request to constrain the data fetched by the report and ensure that you can receive the data within 30 seconds.
Use the following filter best practices:
| Query Parameter | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
from and to | Specify the start and end date for the report | It is recommended to use a maximum range of 1 or 2 week for the report. If you receive a 500 or 502 timeout error, try shortening the report time range. |
location_id | Location filter for the report | For most companies the report should be filtered by a location_id. When you don't specify a location_id the report fetches all the shifts or time_punches for every users in a company. This can take a significant amount of time and may result in a 500 or 502 timeout error. |
Here's an example GET request to the /reports/hours_and_wages endpoint:
curl --request GET --url 'https://api.7shifts.com/v2/reports/hours_and_wages?company_id=1234&from=2022-12-01&to=2022-12-07&location_id=7890'

The report data is structured the same for both the scheduled and worked hours & wages report. The report includes:
- An array of user objects. Each user object includes aggregated and detailed labor information.
- Report total. A dictionary of aggregated labor information for the report.
- Report settings that describe the parameters used to generate the report
Each section includes a labor total that is the aggregate of all the hours and wages for each section.
