Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
His Eminence Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Sistani (may Allah protect them):
It is not permissible to write unrealistic reports or to receive payment for extra hours during which no work was done. Any excess money received that was not deserved must be returned. However, if there is a law that allows the management to double the working hours for employees, then it is permissible for them to do so, and employees may receive payment according to what the manager has recorded for extra working hours.
May you be successful in all good.
