| Field            | Type                | Required | Default | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| ---------------- | ------------------- | -------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `idempotencyKey` | `string`            | No       | —       | A unique string that identifies this `CreateTeamMember` request. Keys can be any valid string, but must be unique for every request. For more information, see [Idempotency](https://developer.squareup.com/docs/build-basics/common-api-patterns/idempotency). The minimum length is 1 and the maximum length is 45. |
| `teamMember`     | `Square.TeamMember` | No       | —       | **Required** The data used to create the `TeamMember` object. If you include `wage_setting`, you must provide `job_id` for each job assignment. To get job IDs, call ListJobs.                                                                                                                                        |

Use the official [CreateTeamMember reference](https://developer.squareup.com/reference/square/team-api/create-team-member) for provider field semantics and limits.

## Output

Returns the official `Square.CreateTeamMemberResponse` response as a codec-safe object. Square integer money amounts remain `bigint` values.
