4. TookTock is a social network company that develops their products for mass
adoption. They are setting up a database to manage their human resource and
property access system. They will be using the following business rules.

• Each personnel is uniquely identified by a PersonId.

• All personnel can either be an employee or a contractor.
• An employee’s designation is recorded.
• A contractor’s company is also recorded.
• Every visit to the office will be logged.
• A visit is uniquely identified by the PersonID and the timestamp of visit.
• A person can make several visits.
• Access is a way for us to differentiate people into groups where they have
different access levels during their visits.
• An access is uniquely identified by the Level (An integer).
• A location will have its own access level classification,
• An access level can be issued to many people.
• A particular location accessed by a person will have its timestamp recorded
• A visit records the location, in order to identify which area is being accessed.
• An employee can apply for off-time several times.
• Each off-time must be approved by a manager.
• An off-time only applies for a single day and the date is kept.
• An employee must always have a manager.
• An employee does not necessarily manage employees.

Draw a single Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) to model the data requirements for the
TookTock database. You must adhere to the following requirements:

• Your entities in the ERD should include the primary keys and its attributes.
You must underline these primary keys. Composite primary keys are allowed.
The complete Primary Key will have to be shown in the diagram for weak entity types.
• Attributes for subtypes are required to be shown
• You must draw (in crow-foot notation) the cardinalities and participation
constraints of the relationships.
• If there are any, you should resolve M:N relations.
