What is the ruling on a doctor paying money to the person in charge of the register in a government hospital to document his presence on days of his absence, with the director's knowledge of this and his inability to act concerning the person in charge?

The director is permitted to divide the working hours of the doctors and sign on their behalf if authorized to do so by the employer. However, he is not permitted to extort them for money in exchange for his signature. If he is not authorized, then each doctor must adhere to daily attendance, and it is forbidden to sign on their behalf or to pay money for that, as it is considered a bribe.
