Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
An employee is not permitted to undertake a private project for their employer without the company's knowledge and permission. Deceiving by writing the name of another contractor is forbidden fraud and deception. An employee may undertake the execution of the project if they inform their employer and the employer agrees and contracts with them for the execution; otherwise, no.
