It is not permissible to do so except with the permission of the employer, because it is a form of deception and trickery. The employee is obligated to abide by the contract and its conditions, based on the words of Allah Almighty: "O you who have believed, fulfill [all] contracts," and the words of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Muslims are bound by their conditions," and his saying: "The wealth of a Muslim person is not lawful unless given willingly by himself."
