Working during Jumu'ah?

The madhhab is that an employee (one hired - Ajeer) is absolved of the obligation if it means he will lose his livelihood or cause his employers wealth to be lost. It's important to note here that the Madhhab position is not carte blanche for someone to say "Whelp! Got work! No Jumuah!"

Instead it means that reasonable accommodations should be requested, and if available the obligation remains. If however your boss comes to you at @12:45 and says you have a meeting at 1:30 (when jumuah starts) and that you can't miss it because business depends on it, then in that case a person may be excused.
Allah knows best.
