Hours Audit

Job (owner's rules, verbatim): Every week before the pay run, check the Square timecards against the roster and the award edition, put anything odd in front of its owner, and export only what a person released. Systems: Square Team (team members, scheduled shifts with the job each is for, and timecards); the business's rule store holding each award edition as a dated row; the business's Australian payroll system, which issues the export batch id; the exception desk the business runs (the anomaly
