If the method of making appointments with the aforementioned entity is normal, then it is not permissible to pay money to an employee to advance your appointment. This money is illicit and consumed wrongfully. It is considered among the prohibited gifts to employees, and it infringes upon the right of those who were ahead in the queue. The money paid in this case is considered a forbidden bribe.
