List primary rate types

GET
/v1/reference/primary-rate-types
curl --request GET \
--url https://api2.recruso.co.uk/v1/reference/primary-rate-types \
--header 'Authorization: <Authorization>'

Returns every primary rate type the platform publishes. The bands a client’s rates are set up under, which decide what a worker’s hours are paid at. Weekday, Saturday, Sunday and bank holiday each have a basic and an overtime band, alongside Nightout, Pre Tax Expense, Post Tax Expense and Deduction.

These values are platform-wide: every agency sees the same list and the same ids, and your agency cannot add to them or change them. No endpoint published on this API takes a primary rate type id yet; the vocabulary is published so that its values are enumerable.

The list is not paged, and no order is guaranteed — sort client-side if you need one. The values change very rarely, so cache them rather than fetching them before every call.

Access. Requires an authenticated token. No further policy is applied.
