Clearing the conscience of negligence in one's job

Question:
The questioner: Shaykh, I am a government employee and I have retired. During my service, I sometimes fell short in attending work at the start of the shift, and I took an emergency leave without any emergency. Will my conscience be cleared by depositing a sum of money into the account for clearing one's conscience that the state has established? And will the amount reach the Muslim treasury?

Answer:
First, if a Muslim takes on a job, he must perform it as required and not be lax in carrying it out. This is a trust in his conscience on one hand, and on the other hand, he is a worker who receives a wage in exchange for his work, so he should not take the wage while not performing the work as required. Second, regarding what happened to the questioner: yes, he pays the money he has that he sees he does not deserve. He pays it into the account prepared for that purpose to clear his conscience, and his conscience is thereby cleared, if Allah wills.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you.
