Question:

Assalamualaikum, Usually our salary is calculating according to the entry time and exit time. But our punching machine is approximately 10 min less for entering and 10 min less for out. If I depend the time through machine, monthly I will work only 125 hours but I am getting the money for 132 hours. Shall I work extra for compensating those hour or should I depend the original time.

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

What should be taken into account is the real time of the official working hours and not the time in the punch clock if it is not properly set, unless the body in charge of this time delay or advance agrees to it, in which case, it is considered as permission from it, and subsequently it is not an obligation on the employee to make up the difference between the two times.

Allaah Knows best.
