List employee types
Lists all employee types of the account (HR classifications such as full time / part time), by name.
The value set for EmployeeTypeID on user create. Returns every employee type, active or not, in one response (no paging).
Use it to:
- Map an HR system's employment categories to TimeLog EmployeeTypeIDs before creating users.
Behaviour:
- Idempotent.
- Safe to retry.
- Changes are visible to the next read immediately.
Next: POST /v1/user/create

Target server for requests. Edit to use your own host.
OAuth 2.0 bearer token, sent as Authorization: Bearer <token>. JWT and reference tokens are both accepted. The token must carry the required scope (default tlp).
The token's sub claim is the acting user. A token WITHOUT sub (client-credentials) acts as the system service user. If the sub user cannot log in (inactive, locked, deleted), the request is rejected with 401 — it is no longer let through without a user.
