AL-KAFI #19 : MAJIKAN MEMBENARKAN PEKERJA BAWAHANNYA CULAS
Can a headmaster or supervisor allow subordinates to arrive late or skip work at his own discretion?
Short answer
The answer depends on the terms of the work agreement, namely whether working hours are fixed, flexible, or based on completing a given task.

Summary
The answer depends on the terms of the work agreement, namely whether working hours are fixed, flexible, or based on completing a given task. The agreement must therefore be consulted first. Management may exercise discretion based on custom and particular circumstances.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hal ini bergantung kepada terma perjanjian apakah bentuk kerja dari sudut masa telah ditetapkan seperti jam 8 hingga 5 atau bersifat flexi hours atau bergantung kepada selesainya satu-satu tugas.
