Employees Time Slots

By default when you add a shift, the number of slots match the Mandatory Staff of the scheduling location. If you increase the shift's Mandatory Staff, you must add additional slots to match. You can also add slots without updating the Mandatory Staff, however, an error flag does not appear if that slot is not filled.
