The ruling on one whose work prevents him from performing the Friday prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Some institutions in Europe do not allow a Muslim to leave work in order to pray Friday. What is his ruling?
This is like a guard. If he is not permitted to leave, that is an excuse for him, like a guard who guards houses, or guards prisons, or guards wealth. It is an excuse for him to pray the midday prayer if he is unable to attend the Friday prayer, like a sick person who is excused. One is excused from the Friday congregation, including those who cannot attend because they are a guard, or because they are sick, or because they are afraid, or something similar to that.
