What are the general rulings that apply to every employee in his work?

The user in the workplace, whether an employee or a worker, falls under the ruling of a private hire. This is someone with whom a contract is made for a known period, and the hirer is entitled to the contracted benefit during that period. The private hire must fulfill what was agreed upon in the contract and submit himself to the hirer. He is not permitted to work for anyone other than his hirer during that period, except for performing the obligatory prayers. He is entitled to the specified wage if he submits himself during the period, even if he does nothing.

The ruling of a private hire is summarized in the following points:

1. He must perform the agreed-upon tasks. 2. He is not permitted to engage in unlawful acts or assist in them. 3. He is not permitted to use work tools for his personal benefit unless with the permission of the employer. 4. He is not permitted to accept gifts because of his position unless with the permission of the employer. 5. He is not permitted to work for anyone other than his employer during his work hours. 6. He is not liable for what is damaged without transgression or negligence. 7. He must adhere to the employer's terms, as long as they do not contravene Islamic law.
