Calculate a payroll run

Crew module

POST/payroll-runs/{id}/calculatepayrollRuns.calculate

Replaces the run's lines from the approved member timesheets of its pay period, splitting overtime by the canon wage and hour rule of each project's jurisdiction; the run becomes Calculated. A missing earning code, rate or rule is refused (422) and names it. Requires `Idempotency-Key`; a replay returns the original response. A rule that refuses the request returns 422 with `refusal` and `reason`.

  • Requires the capability crew.pay_period.manage.
  • OAuth scopes: crew.
  • Send an Idempotency-Key header. A replay with the same key returns the original response.
  • Error statuses: 400, 401, 404, 409, 422, 429. Errors are RFC 9457 problem details.
