What is the ruling on an employee who is late from time to time?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I am a government employee, and I sometimes delay and fall short in my duties. So I calculated this delay at the end of each month and calculated the amount. He says: What do I do with this amount?

Answer:
This does not absolve you of the fact that you are late and you say, "I want to give charity." It does not absolve you of the responsibility. But if you had done this in the past and you repented from this matter, and you have money you accumulated from this negligence, then get rid of it. However, if you want to continue being late and say, "I want to give away the extra that I am unsure about," this does not absolve you of the responsibility, because you are wasting the work, wasting the work, and disrupting the clients by holding up their transactions. Even if you give charity, this does not absolve you. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
