What is the ruling on the high salaries of employees of the Ministry of Electricity compared to other ministries? What is the ruling on a supervisor granting employees leave without an official card, with or without the knowledge of the manager? What is the ruling on sleeping during official working hours if there is no strenuous work? And are the salaries forbidden if sleeping is not permissible?

It is permissible to receive salaries that are higher than those of peers in other ministries. However, it is not permissible to sleep during working hours without the employer's permission, because the employee is a private contractor whose time is owned by the hirer. Whoever sleeps must repay the equivalent of their sleeping hours or seek forgiveness from the employer. As for what a supervisor gives to workers without the manager's knowledge, it is permissible if the supervisor is authorized to do so for the benefit of the work; otherwise, it is forbidden due to the betrayal of trust involved.
