# List all payroll wage items

`GET /quickbooks-desktop/payroll-wage-items`

Returns a list of payroll wage items. Use the `cursor` parameter to paginate through the results.

## Query parameters

- `ids` string[] — Filter for specific payroll wage items by their QuickBooks-assigned unique identifier(s). **IMPORTANT**: If you include this parameter, QuickBooks will ignore all other query parameters for this request. **NOTE**: If any of the values you specify in this parameter are not found, the request will return an error.
- `names` string[] — Filter for specific payroll wage items by their name(s), case-insensitive. Like `id`, `name` is a unique identifier for a payroll wage item. **IMPORTANT**: If you include this parameter, QuickBooks will ignore all other query parameters for this request. **NOTE**: If any of the values you specify in this parameter are not found, the request will return an error.
- `limit` integer — The maximum number of objects to return. Accepts values ranging from 1 to 150, defaults to 150. When used with cursor-based pagination, this parameter controls how many results are returned per page. To paginate through results, combine this with the `cursor` parameter. Each response will include a `nextCursor` value that can be passed to subsequent requests to retrieve the next page of results.
- `cursor` string — The pagination token to fetch the next set of results when paginating with the `limit` parameter. Do not include this parameter on the first call. Use the `nextCursor` value returned in the previous response to request subsequent results.
- `status` 'active' | 'all' | 'inactive' — Filter for payroll wage items that are active, inactive, or both.
- `updatedAfter` string — Filter for payroll wage items updated on or after this date/time. Accepts the following ISO 8601 formats: - **date-only** (YYYY-MM-DD) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the date as the **start of the specified day** in the local timezone of the end-user's computer (e.g., `2025-01-01` → `2025-01-01T00:00:00`). - **datetime without timezone** (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the timestamp in the local timezone of the end-user's computer. - **datetime with timezone** (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss±HH:mm) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the timestamp using the specified timezone.
- `updatedBefore` string — Filter for payroll wage items updated on or before this date/time. Accepts the following ISO 8601 formats: - **date-only** (YYYY-MM-DD) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the date as the **end of the specified day** in the local timezone of the end-user's computer (e.g., `2025-01-01` → `2025-01-01T23:59:59`). - **datetime without timezone** (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the timestamp in the local timezone of the end-user's computer. - **datetime with timezone** (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss±HH:mm) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the timestamp using the specified timezone.
- `nameContains` string — Filter for payroll wage items whose `name` contains this substring, case-insensitive. **NOTE**: If you use this parameter, you cannot also use `nameStartsWith` or `nameEndsWith`.
- `nameStartsWith` string — Filter for payroll wage items whose `name` starts with this substring, case-insensitive. **NOTE**: If you use this parameter, you cannot also use `nameContains` or `nameEndsWith`.
- `nameEndsWith` string — Filter for payroll wage items whose `name` ends with this substring, case-insensitive. **NOTE**: If you use this parameter, you cannot also use `nameContains` or `nameStartsWith`.
- `nameFrom` string — Filter for payroll wage items whose `name` is alphabetically greater than or equal to this value.
- `nameTo` string — Filter for payroll wage items whose `name` is alphabetically less than or equal to this value.

  - `data` QbdPayrollWageItem[], required — The array of payroll wage items.
    - `id` string, required — The unique identifier assigned by QuickBooks to this payroll wage item. This ID is unique across all payroll wage items but not across different QuickBooks object types.
    - `objectType` 'qbd_payroll_wage_item', required — The type of object. This value is always `"qbd_payroll_wage_item"`.
    - `createdAt` string, required — The date and time when this payroll wage item was created, in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm), which QuickBooks Desktop interprets in the local timezone of the end-user's computer.
    - `updatedAt` string, required — The date and time when this payroll wage item was last updated, in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm), which QuickBooks Desktop interprets in the local timezone of the end-user's computer.
    - `revisionNumber` string, required — The current QuickBooks-assigned revision number of this payroll wage item object, which changes each time the object is modified. When updating this object, you must provide the most recent `revisionNumber` to ensure you're working with the latest data; otherwise, the update will return an error.
    - `name` string, required — The case-insensitive unique name of this payroll wage item, unique across all payroll wage items. **NOTE**: Payroll wage items do not have a `fullName` field because they are not hierarchical objects, which is why `name` is unique for them but not for objects that have parents.
    - `isActive` boolean, required — Indicates whether this payroll wage item is active. Inactive objects are typically hidden from views and reports in QuickBooks. Defaults to `true`.
    - `wageType` 'bonus' | 'commission' | 'hourly_overtime' | 'hourly_regular' | 'hourly_sick' | 'hourly_vacation' | 'salary_regular' | 'salary_sick' | 'salary_vacation', required — Categorizes how this payroll wage item calculates pay - can be hourly (regular, overtime, sick, or vacation), salary (regular, sick, or vacation), bonus, or commission based.
    - `expenseAccount` object, nullable, required — The expense account used to track wage expenses paid through this payroll wage item.
      - `id` string, nullable, required — The unique identifier assigned by QuickBooks to this object. This ID is unique across all objects of the same type, but not across different QuickBooks object types.
      - `fullName` string, nullable, required — The fully-qualified unique name for this object, formed by combining the names of its parent objects with its own `name`, separated by colons. Not case-sensitive.
    - `overtimeMultiplier` string, nullable, required — The overtime pay multiplier for this payroll wage item, represented as a decimal string. For example, `"1.5"` represents time-and-a-half pay.

  - `nextCursor` string, nullable, required — The `nextCursor` is a pagination token returned in the response when you use the `limit` parameter in your request. To retrieve subsequent pages of results, include this token as the value of the `cursor` request parameter in your following API calls. **NOTE**: The `nextCursor` value remains constant throughout the pagination process for a specific list instance; continue to use the same `nextCursor` token in each request to fetch additional pages.
  - `remainingCount` number, nullable, required — The number of objects remaining to be fetched.
  - `hasMore` boolean, required — Indicates whether there are more objects to be fetched.
