Write 2
Create, change or send.
Add or change a shift
Adds a shift, or changes one when shift_id is given: start and end time, the area (operational unit) it is for, the employee working it (or open for anyone to claim), a meal break and a comment.
Request leave
Adds a leave request for an employee, awaiting a manager's approval.
A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything.
