What erasure does
- Blanks name, email and job role on the employee record.
- Blanks the free-text note on each of their time entries — a note is where a person's details get typed by accident.
- Leaves every date, duration, project and approval exactly as it was.
- Archives the employee so no new time can be logged against them.
- Is refused while any of their entries is still a draft or awaiting approval — decide those first, or the approver would be judging a request from “[removed]”.
