The answer

If the workplace is more than three miles away from the city where Friday prayer is observed, then Friday prayer is not obligatory, and one must perform Dhuhr prayer instead. However, if the distance is less than that (three miles or less), then Friday prayer is an obligation upon every resident Muslim, and it is not permissible to miss it except with a legitimate Shar'i excuse, such as guarding duty that cannot be avoided at the time of Friday prayer. It is not permissible to miss Friday prayer due to exhaustion and fatigue if the workplace is within the distance that necessitates attending it.
