jisr

jisr_create_attendance_punches

WRITE: send a batch of raw clock-in/out punches (at most 100) from a punch device into Jisr attendance. Jisr processes them asynchronously; check the result with jisr_list_attendance_punches. Each punch carries the unique id its device generated; do not invent ids. POST /openapi/v1/attendance_logs.

jisr_create_employee

WRITE: register a new employee in Jisr (they are invited to the system by email). Not reversible through this server: there is no delete tool. Get department_id, employment_type_id, location_id and nationality_id from jisr_list_lookup first. Names need at least two parts. POST /openapi/v1/employees.

jisr_get_annual_leave_balances

Annual leave balance summaries per employee (all employees, or only the given employee codes, at most 100). Only the annual leave type is supported by Jisr. GET /openapi/v1/employee_leaves/summary.

One employee's profile by id (UUID from jisr_list_employees): names, code, gender, marital status, phone, emails, date of birth, passport/ID number, address, line manager, department, business unit, employment type, location, nationality and contract. GET /openapi/v1/employees/basic_info?id=.

jisr_list_employees

List the organization's employees (active by default) with code, names (English/Arabic), job title, department, business unit, employment type, line manager, joining date and status.
