Rate Limiting
Hey!
Do 7Shifts have Rate Limiting? If it has how we can get information about rate-limiting?

Creating a PuncTime Data
I am creating a Punchtime data but getting the response 'Location timezone is invalid'
However, the request data json from the API documentation does not have any field for location time zone.
Is this a setup issue? Please help me resolve this issue.
Thanks

Employee Bidding on shifts
I am an employee working for a company that uses 7shifts. When bidding on a shift that a co-worker has given up the shift typically goes to who bids on it first. Is there an API for employee use so I can automate bidding on shifts?

SHift sync behavior
Hello,
I have a two questions related to fetching shifts.
1. Is it possible to fetch shifts based on the modified field? this would prevent re-polling an entire period when it is likely that few or no records have changed.
2. For deleted records (ie: https://api.7shifts.com/v1/shifts?deleted=1), all results show up with deleted=false and soft_deleted=null. Should those columns just be disregarded, or is this a bug?
Thank you

Overtime
We are using the API to pull the time_punches call for a pay period. We then calculate the total time from the start and end time, subtract any unpaid breaks and have a total time. This allows us to import the time into the payroll system.
But, when compared to the worked hours and wages report, there is an OT column. How do I get OT from the time_punches?

Integration Parameters
Hello there,
I have a question from your Create Receipts documentation(https://developers.7shifts.com/reference/create-receipt) it lists the only parameters that are able to be passed are total, open_date, location_id, external_id. Are these the only types that can be passed over from an external system?
For example we have ordernumber, orderid, orderitems, among others, and we have a client that reached out asking if an integration with 7shifts is possible.
Thanks,

Weekly wage on List Shifts endpoint
Hi,
We are pulling shifts using the list shifts endpoint.
I noticed that weekly wages are returned under the hourly_wage field. I dont see a related field that can tell us whether that is a weekly salary or an hourly wage.
Is it possible to add that context, or to have the hourly wage calculated from weekly down to hourly?
Thanks!
