The employee's delay in arriving for work and signing in without right, and the ruling on his salary

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This is a question concerning a widespread affliction caused by the negligence of many people. It is when an employee comes to his workplace, where he is required to arrive at a specific time, but he arrives late and signs in as if he arrived at the required time, or he asks a colleague to insert his attendance card into the machine as if he were present when he is not. What is the ruling on this action? And what is the ruling on the salary he receives, claiming he has fulfilled his obligation, when in fact he has reduced his working hours?

Answer:
He has committed two crimes. The first crime is his delay in the work for which he is required to be present at the start of the workday; he was late and took payment for it without right. This is a crime. The second crime is that he lied. If he had admitted his mistake, it would have been easier, but he followed the mistake with a lie, claiming he was present at the start of the workday and that he was not late. These are two serious crimes, and it is not permissible for him to do this. He must be present, and if he is absent without an excuse, his salary is not lawful for him, nor is what corresponds to it. What corresponds to his delay is not lawful for him; only what corresponds to his work and presence is lawful for him.
Unless he has an excuse, such as illness or his car breaking down on the way. In that case, there is no harm; he is excused. Or if the regulations allow him to be late. If the regulations do not permit him to be late and he has no religious excuse, it is not permissible for him to follow the mistake with a lie. Yes.
