Is it permissible for government employees (such as doctors and pharmacists) to share their workdays among themselves in a way that reduces their daily presence, with the knowledge of the manager, and does that entail forfeiture of salary, whether the manager is aware of it or not?

If it were within the hospital director's authority to permit absence, everyone would not have attended during the ministry's inspection, nor would the director have recorded as absent those who were actually absent. Therefore, the director's knowledge and permission hold no weight and do not absolve anyone of responsibility. Thus, anyone who is absent from their work is not entitled to the salary for the days they were absent.
