`hours.correction.request`

Report a mistake in one of your approved time entries (hoursId, its expectedRevision, the corrected date, minutes and description, and a reason). The approved entry stays as it is and is held out of payouts until finance decides. Hours that were already paid are raised with finance as an adjustment instead. One correction can be open per entry.
