Question Summary:
Should I recompense my employer for the time I used to leave early from work? Question Detail:
i have recently ben inflicted with a unknown health condition which no one can diagnose. Im reflctin back on my life to assess what i have done wrong. One area i have been lazy in is doing all my work hours in employment. I know that i have at times not done the full working hours per week for employers. If there is no work i left a little early and on juma we normaly take longer break and leave work same time. I am really concerned that this issue maybe why i have been inflicted with this unknown condition. I have repented and done tauba and i am in contact with all the companies i have worked for and tried to explain to them that I owe them some money. I cant remember exactly how many hours short i have been doing but i am taking an average of 2 per week and informing the companies to work out the bill and i will pay you.
