Question
My family and even Ulama say that it's permissible to perform congregational Salah at work or even individually and there is no sin because in the west we are contracted to work certain number of hours per week?
Answer
If there is a nearby Musjid, then Jamaat Salaat must be performed in the Musjid. But because of Imaani deficiency, this is not upheld. People are not prepared for little trials. While the Salaat will be valid, it is a violation of the Shariah, to abstain from the nearby Musjid because of employment and business. All Shar'i violations are sins.
