Workforce Cost
Returns what a company's workforce costs, assembled from the disclosures filers actually tag: the direct labor expense line where one exists (airlines, banks, railroads, insurers), the accrued compensation balances almost every filer carries (accrued salaries, bonuses, vacation, payroll taxes, workers compensation), and 401(k) / defined-contribution plan cost. Labor expense by business segment is served as separate series where disclosed.
Response blocks:
- periods: company-level values per fiscal period, newest first. Fields the filer did not tag are omitted.
- perSegment: labor expense series per business segment (raw XBRL members, subtotal rollups excluded). Components of the company figure; never sum them with periods.
- byExpenseCaption: employee compensation per income-statement caption from the FASB DISE disclosure (ASU 2024-03). Mandatory for public filers in fiscal years beginning after 2026-12-15, so this block and the employeeCompensation field fill in as filers adopt; expect sparse data before then.
Monetary values default to US dollars (currency parameter as on the statements endpoints: balances at spot, flows at the period-average rate, fx audit block, currency=original for as-filed).
What this data can tell you:
- Labor cost trajectory vs revenue, and labor cost per employee where headcount is tagged.
- Wage pressure read-through: accrued compensation balances move with pay levels even when the expense line is not disclosed.
- Which segments carry the labor intensity.
- 401(k) contribution cost as a benefits-spend proxy.
Data honesty notes:
- Coverage is tiered by disclosure practice: accrued balances cover roughly 45% of the active universe, a direct labor expense line roughly 20% (concentrated in financials, industrials, materials); companies burying labor in SG&A or cost of revenue serve accruals only.
- Accrued fields serve the current portion where tagged, the filer's combined current-and-noncurrent figure otherwise.
- In the quarterly view, expense flows appear for Q1 to Q3 as tagged; full-year flows are not served as Q4. Year-end accrued balances are the Q4 snapshot.
- numberOfEmployees is a voluntary tag (about 100 filers per year); treat it as opportunistic.
Query parameters
Stock ticker symbol. Identify the entity by exactly one of: symbol, cik, cusip, composite_figi, or share_class_figi. At least one is required.
SEC Central Index Key (CIK).
CUSIP identifier (9 characters).
Composite OpenFIGI identifier.

Currency to return all monetary values in (default USD).
Pass any ISO 4217 code from the table below, or original to disable conversion and receive every figure in its own as-reported currency. With a target currency, any line item not already in it is converted on the fly at the period-appropriate rate (spot for balance-sheet instants, period-average for income/cash-flow flows); values already in the target pass through untouched (no round-trip), and the per-period fx block records the rate(s) applied. A currency that cannot be priced for a given period leaves those facts native and flags them under fx.unconverted.
