[Avodah] not working on chol hamoed

[Eli Turkel]

A cousin of mine works in an Israeli hospital dealing with insurance
companies. She was told that if she doesnt come in on chol hamoed she
would be greatly penalized. They asked a posek who said she should show up for
work but not do anything (unless it was pikuach nefesh).
I was greatly disturbed by this psak. It seems the posek is more worried
about possible work on chol hamoed then choshen mishpat issues of
getting paid but refusing to work.
