Get minimum wage rates by SLS location code

The /mwf/v1/location/code endpoint returns minimum wage rates when you provide a Symmetry Location Service (SLS) locationCodeFull and an effective date.

The /mwf/v1/location/code endpoint returns minimum wage rates when you provide a Symmetry Location Service (SLS) locationCodeFull and an effective date. Use this endpoint when you already have a Symmetry-issued location identifier from STE, SLS, or another Symmetry product, and you want to retrieve minimum wage rates without submitting a street address or latitude/longitude pair.

📘

If you do not already have a locationCodeFull, use the /mwf/v1/location endpoint to resolve an address or coordinates first.
