Skipping Pesukei d'Zimra for work

Hi,

One who will be late for work if he recites Pesukei d'Zimra may skip it, assuming that his employer expects him at a specific time. One may not cheat his employer in order to recite Pesukei d'Zimra.

(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 4:91:2)

Have a great day,
Mordechai

Bentching on company time

Hi,

A worker who is paid by time (ie by the hour or day) is required to be extra-careful not to waste time. If he eats, he is not permitted to recite the Birkat haMazon (blessing after meals) beyond the core three blessings.

[This assumes that one is working at a job for which he is only permitted time to eat. However, one who is working at a job in which it is understood that he has a given time for breaks is obligated to recite the full Birkat haMazon during that break.]

(Code of Jewish Law Choshen Mishpat 337:20)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
