Question Summary:
Do I have the right to not work compulsory late shifts in the month of Ramadhan so as to be able to perform my Tarawih Salaah?

Question Detail:

I would like to know if there is any labour law that states that an employee is allowed to take his or her breaks at work when it is Salaah times eg. @1pm for Thur then  Asr , Maghrib & Eshaai & for the month of Ramadaan do we as muslims  have the right to not work compulsory late shifts in this month in order for us to be able to perform our Tarawih Salaah.
I work in a call centre enviroment & our break times are always scheduled to us out of Salaah times & some weeks we have to work late shifts from 11am to 8pm & early from 7am to 4:30pm & we are restricted to take our breaks together. I am always making my salaah past the time.
I really feel very depressed when I am at work or at home for this very reason & it really eats on me all the time especially when I have heard so many talks & read many books about one who neglects his or her Salaah & yet I am still continuing to do this Very Sinful act over & over for so the 6 years that I am working here. Please Muftisaab I would really like you to help me & other muslims at work.  

Answer :

 
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Shariah has emphasized on performing Salaah on time. In the case of males, they should perform Salaah with Jama’ah.
You should request your administration at work to facilitate for you to perform Salaah in its regular time. So explain to your administration that the time required for each Salaah is approximately 10 minutes. They could consider cutting the time from your break time or you could compensate for the time in another way. You refer to two working times 11am till 8pm. In these days, it is summer in U.K. The days are long and the time for Zuhr Salaah extends up till almost 7pm.
You could perform your Zuhr Salaah anytime between after Zawaal which is generally around 1.15pm till before 7pm. You may refer to the computed Salaah time table for the beginning and ending of Salaah times.When you work until 4.30pm that should not be a problem as you can perform your Zuhr Salaah after that.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
