Praying in the prayer area of a government office next to a mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Now, he also asks about the ruling on government offices that have mosques next to them, but they pray inside the office if there is a prayer area, or each floor or two floors of the office pray in one place and one prayer area, even though the mosque is right next to them?

Answer:
The default is to go to the mosque, unless staying and praying in the office is more conducive to their work, because they might slip away or be late for work. If this affects their work, they pray in the office. But if this does not affect their work and does not take up time that harms their work, they pray in the mosque when they hear the call to prayer. Yes.
