One must adhere to the agreed-upon working hours, and it is not permissible to leave before the end of the working hours except with permission from the system. It is also necessary to abide by the workplace designated by the authorized official. However, one is not obliged to respond to an official's request to work additional hours beyond what was agreed upon. The fundamental principle is fulfilling contracts, and the benefit of a private employee is exclusively owned by the employer throughout the contract period.
