Checking Accruals and Time Off Status

Use `accruals` to list an employee's current leave balances directly from your script. You get a simple, parsable output for PTO or sick time totals. To check availability, pipe that data into the `timeoff` tool to verify if enough balance exists for a given date range.

Retrieving Schedules and Timesheets

Run `schedules` in your CI/CD pipeline to pull all shifts assigned for a period. This data is great for logging or audit scripts. If you need to validate the work, use `timesheets` to grab recorded hours and compare them against the expected schedule output.

Bulk Time Record Management

The `timeoff` tool lets you programmatically list all employee time off requests. This is perfect for generating bulk reports or confirming leave blocks. Combine this with `timesheets` to quickly audit if an absence request matches the recorded lack of working hours.
