THE BAIS HAVAAD HALACHA JOURNAL: Volume 5776 Issue XXXXV Ki Seitzei OBLIGATIONS OF AN EMPLOYEE Is an employee allowed to take a few minutes to pursue their own endeavors on their employer’s time? By: HaRav Dovid Grossman, Rosh Bais HaVaad

As long as I “get the job done” how much of a difference does it make if I “steal away” a few minutes here and there to engage in the “social environment” in the office. Can it be so terrible if I take a longer lunch break or take out some time to “chap” the latest online deal or a “quick” game of solitaire?
