Looks like the videos are mixed up. This video is showing the explanation for G1. Any idea how to fix this to reflect G4?
Fixed. As you probably imagined, there was a "1" where there should have been a "4".
My mom couldn't stop laughing at the first 6 seconds of this video lol
Oh no! The dreaded "my mom thinks you're funny!"
Devastating. 
The only game I can remember that's even close is the one I reference in the video. So, no; there's no type here.
My method of attack was similar to yours, but I didn't refer to the answer choices as quickly as you (and I regret not having done so). I sketched out a rough "finished version" of the 1st grid, with all possibilities, and eliminated the repeats/rule-breakers. For example...for "J" (starting Monday), the sequence was J--> K-->L/M-->K/M/J.
I then looked for a pattern that would allow the "only 2 employees" scenario. At that point, I then looked at the answers, and had the "aha" moment, and just cross-checked each to see if it was possible.
I suppose that I could have done the same for the second grid, but this seemed to be enough.
Maybe this will help someone else, moving forward.
If J accepts a transfer, J only accepts transfers from M. Otherwise, J is on Monday. I understand this can be inferred, because if neither K or L can transfer to J per rules 2 and 3, then only M can transfer to J. Otherwise, J is on Monday, where accepting a transfer is not possible.
This doesn't, however, seem to prohibit K and L from accepting transfers from M. Put differently, the rules don't seem to prohibit M from transferring to K and L. Why can't K and L accept transfers from M? Why can't M transfer to K and L?
For instance, take #22. I've typed up a "diagram" below. It is clear that L cannot transfer to J, because this is stated in rule 3. This is why I've excluded J from W below:
M: J/K/M
T: L
W: K/M
R: L
As to why M is an excluded possibility for W, this remains unclear to me. As for the L on T, it seems that there is no issue accepting transfers from J and K, or having J and K transfer to L. The inclusion of M on Monday here is also in question.
1. Did you overlook part of the setup of the game? There are four pieces worked on every day. Thus, on any given day, if M transfers to K or L, then who transfers to J on that day?
2. I'm not sure I understand your diagram (again, it looks to me like you may have overlooked part of the setup to the game). You appear to have only three, not four, workpieces on Monday, then just one on Tuesday and Thursday, and only two on Wednesday. Did you intend to provide an incomplete diagram?
3. Ah! Now I'm nearly certain that you haven't taken the full setup into account. The inclusion of M on Monday can never be in question. M (and the other three) all work on Monday.
So, the big takeaway here is good news: there are only two reasons you'll ever miss a question in a game. Either you forgot to apply a rule (from the rule set or the setup), or else you applied a rule incorrectly. Get all the rules right, apply them correctly, and you'll be good!
