Sleeping while on duty

Sleeping while on duty or sleeping on the job refers to falling asleep while on the time clock or equivalent, or else while responsible for performing some active or passive job duty. While in some jobs, this is a minor transgression and some other workplaces are considered job misconduct, and the supervisors will tell the workers, "Go home and sleep", "I did not pay you to sleep".
