Shirk (Islam)
''Shirk'' () in Islam is a sin often roughly translated as 'idolatry' or ' polytheism', but more accurately meaning 'association God]'. It refers to accepting other Divinity, divinities or powers alongside God as associates. In contrast, Islam teaches that God does not share divine attributes with anyone, as it is disallowed according to the Islamic doctrine of ''tawhid.''Kamoonpuri, S: "Basic Beliefs of Islam" pages 42–58. Tanzania Printers Limited, 2001. It is considered to be the gravest sin in Islam. The Quran, the central religious text of Islam, states in 4:48 that God will not forgive ''shirk'' if one dies without repenting of it. The one who commits ''shirk'' is called a ''mushrik''. The opposite of ''shirk'' is ''tawhid'' and the opposite of ''mushrik'' is ''muwahhid''.. Etymology The word ''shirk'' comes from the Arabic root sh- r- k (), with the general meaning of 'to share'. In the context of the Quran, the particular sense of 'sharing as an equal partner' is u ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Efficiency Wage
In labor economics, an efficiency wage is a wage paid in excess of the market-clearing wage to increase the labor productivity of workers.Mankiw, Gregory N. & Taylor, Mark P. (2008), ''Macroeconomics'' (European edition), pp. 181–182 Specifically, it points to the incentive for managers to pay their employees more than the market-clearing wage to increase their productivity or to reduce the costs associated with employee turnover. Theories of efficiency wages explain the existence of involuntary unemployment in economies outside of recessions, providing for a natural rate of unemployment above zero. Because workers are paid more than the equilibrium wage, workers may experience periods of unemployment in which workers compete for a limited supply of well-paying jobs. Overview of theory There are several reasons why managers may pay efficiency wages: * ''Avoiding shirking'': If it is difficult to measure the quantity or quality of a worker's effortand systems of piece rates o ...

Coffee Break
A break at work (or work-break) is a period of time during a shift in which an employee is allowed to take time off from their job. It is a type of downtime. There are different types of breaks, and depending on the length and the employer's policies, the break may or may not be paid. Meal breaks, tea breaks, coffee breaks, lunch breaks or smoko usually range from ten minutes to one hour. Their purpose is to allow the employee to have a meal that is regularly scheduled during the work day. For a typical daytime job, this is lunch, but this may vary for those with other work hours. Lunch breaks allow an employee's energy to replenish. It is not uncommon for this break to be unpaid, and for the entire work day from start to finish to be longer than the number of hours paid in order to accommodate this time. Break laws and regulations Finland In Finland, works breaks are guaranteed by both the Finnish Working Hours Act as well as by collective agreements. Workplaces with collecti ...
