Fatwas / Sales Fatawa / Ruling on salary and overtime wages of a university lecturer.

Views:3296
- Aa +

A university lecturer says: The norm at our faculty and other similar faculties is that we do not work every day but rather we go either two or three days per week. The other days we will be preparing topics for masters’ degree and the like. He asked regarding the issue of daily attendance and he was told that your work does not confine you to a specific time, but all that is required from you during this period is completion of the masters degree syllabus. The labor law also stipulates that he has no right of teaching. So he is asking regarding: 1. Ruling on the salary he is getting? 2. He gets paid overtime wages whereas he only attends twice a week and knocks off at the normal time. What is the ruling of this money?

حكم مرتب معيد الجامعة وأجرة الوقت الإضافي

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah, his family and his companions.

To proceed:

With regards to the salary he gets for working; there is no harm on it because his type of work does not require him to attend every day. However, it is not permissible for him to get overtime wages if there is no actual overtime being done to justify this money.

Your brother,
