Is it permissible to request an additional meal, other than the official one designated for employees, through mediation?

If the employer has allocated one meal per worker, it is not permissible to take another meal without specific permission from the employer, because that is considered consuming people's wealth unjustly, which is forbidden. However, if the employer permits it, then there is no objection.
