Dear Team,
May I know whether any Square API can be used to export the labor cost report or the corresponding data? we need to merge the data there into our own report system.
Thanks.

Yes, you can use the Square Labor API to export labor cost data. The Labor API allows you to capture team member working hours with breaks and an hourly pay rate. It can be used to integrate Square Point of Sale timekeeping with applications for labor cost reporting, payroll, and overtime management.
You can use the Labor API shift search endpoint to get labor hours data in a pay period for use in an existing payroll system. This data can then be integrated into your own report system. However, please note that the Labor API cannot be used to assign job-based wages to a team member or to create new team members. These actions must be managed through the Team API and the Seller Dashboard.

Does it mean that to get the “total labor cost” in the report, we need to calculate like “working hours” x “hourly pay rate”, rather than directly getting the calculation result of total labor cost from Square API?
That’s correct. There isn’t a Reporting API that would calculate the totals at this time. We’re constantly working to improve our features based on feedback like this, so I’ll be sure to share your request to the API product team.
