The answer

The employee is a private contractor who earns his wages by making himself available to the workplace, whether or not he is assigned tasks. Entitlement to salary depends on punctual attendance during working hours, without tardiness, except as permitted by regulations. The manager's lack of attentiveness does not justify violating working hours or neglecting work. If this occurs, the employee is deprived of a portion of his salary commensurate with the violation of attendance and work.
