Add worked hours
Add a timesheet entry for an employee.
MCP tool shiftbase_write → add_worked_hours
write Confirm
Creates one entry in the Timesheet tab with status pending and returns its id and hours. It uses the department and shift of the employee for that day. With notify_employee set, the employee gets a message. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
