GET  /api/v1/employees              # List (plural)
GET  /api/v1/employee               # Get one (?id=xxx)
POST /api/v1/employee               # Create
POST /api/v1/employee/update        # Update (?id=xxx)
POST /api/v1/employee/delete        # Soft delete (?id=xxx)
POST /api/v1/employee/restore       # Restore (?id=xxx)
POST /api/v1/sync/employees         # Action
