The answer

The failure of institutions to report the number of workers or their working hours to the government does not affect the worker's salary if his work is legitimate and performed as required. We have previously explained the ruling on concealing these matters to evade taxes. The worker is sinful for cooperating in concealment, but this does not affect his salary.
