The answer

The time designated for work belongs to the employer, and wasting it or not utilizing it for the benefit of the work is considered a dereliction of duty and a betrayal of trust. This is because the employee is a private hire (ajir khass), and the benefit derived from a private hire is owned by the hirer. It is feared that someone possessing these characteristics (lying, breaking promises, betraying trust) may gradually descend into major hypocrisy (nifaq akbar).
