Question

Is it permissible to work as a payroll accountant in a place where secular employees work on Shabbat? It seems it does not assist since it is not at the time of transgression, and the money is not Shabbat wages because it is included in the monthly work. However, I ask the rabbi to consider that on Shabbat the employee receives 200%, and perhaps this part is Shabbat wages or another prohibition?

Answer

Shalom and blessings,

There is no prohibition in this; your calculation at the end of the month does not change the fact that he works on Shabbat.

And since there are others who will calculate it for him, there is no prohibition of "do not place a stumbling block before the blind."
