Is neglecting and not adhering to working hours in a government job considered among the forbidden acts, and what is the optimal way to address this problem?

It is forbidden for an employee to neglect their work or to be lax in attendance and departure times without an excuse. The questioner must offer sincere repentance by calculating the times they were remiss and returning the corresponding portion of their salary to their employer. If direct return is not possible, they should spend it on matters beneficial to Muslims. Thereafter, they should frequently engage in supplication, prayer, fasting, and reminding others of the consequences of deception and betrayal.
