Question
I work at an institute for proofreading and correcting Torah scrolls. Part of my job is to give lessons to employees, and the employer suggests that during Chol Hamoed, I should obviously not engage in work but only study and prepare lessons and receive a salary for these days, just clocking in and out. Is there a problem with this? (The alternative is not receiving any salary for these days, which essentially means that the salary for this month will be reduced by a quarter of the usual amount).
Answer
Hello
It is permissible to do so during Chol Hamoed.
