What is the ruling on praying the congregational prayer in the company prayer hall, given that it was reported from Shaykh Ibn Baz that it is not valid?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: A group of employees pray in the company prayer hall, and one of the brothers told them that this is not permissible, and that there is a fatwa from the Council of Senior Scholars during the time of Shaykh Ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him) that does not permit praying at the workplace. Is this statement correct?

Answer:
This requires consideration, because if their prayer is at the workplace, it is more organized for them; they all pray together, and none of them are absent or scattered. It is more prudent for them to pray at the workplace, or if the work is affected when they go to the mosque, there is no harm in them praying at the workplace to keep the work organized and to keep them from being lazy, scattering, or having one of them absent.
