What is the ruling on the financial amount received by an employee in exchange for providing personal services — other than internet usage — to customers of an internet café, knowing that the primary nature of the café's work is to provide internet service, and this amount is divided equally between the employee and the owner of the café?
1. The private employee: A private employee is not entitled to neglect any part of the service for which he was hired. If he does so, the employer has the right to reduce the wage or to deduct the wage equivalent to what the employee utilized for his own benefit. 2. Using equipment: It is not permissible to use the employer's equipment for purposes other than those for which it was intended, unless you charge the customer for the duration of your use of the equipment.
Therefore, what you do without the employer's knowledge is not permissible, and you must inform him so that he may grant you permission or prohibit you.
