# List PF Options

GET https://api.salaryboxapp.com/v2/customer/v1/payroll/config/pf

Returns the PF contribution options, and which ones a salary structure for a month can use. Requires Payroll Pro. Not paginated.

- `value` uses the same names as `employee_pf` in List Salary Templates.
- `wage_ceiling` and `max_amount` are 2-decimal strings, or `null` when uncapped.
- Options not offered for the month have `is_selectable` `false`. They are still listed so saved ones can be labelled.
