Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
You are required to be present during the official working hours agreed upon in the employment contract. The only exceptions are authorized absences for the benefit of work or to fulfill a need. You must inform your superiors about the situation. If they permit you to go home, then you may; otherwise, you must return to your workplace.
