No. If they see you studying or doing something not work related then it will look like you are not busy. If there is not work for you, then there is no need of you. If you work where you are not needed and show that there’s no work there, then you might not have a job for long. Do something to busy your self. Clean, organize, ask other co-workers…

If nothing is going on at the moment and you have nothing to do, then ask your boss if he minds that you study or do school work. Just remember when you are at work, your first priority is to work.

You can use your break, or lunch time anyway you like, however if you use paid on the clock time to do your homework, you will have to make sure that you get the green light from your direct supervisor, or boss.

It isn’t really ethical. You are paid to do your job, not study. It seems to me that your supervisor is the one that needs a new job…he isn’t doing his very well!

I don’t believe it’s ethical. When you’re at work, you’re getting paid, and you should be doing something FOR your employer. There is always something that needs to be organized, straightened, cleaned, etc.

If your supervisor doesn’t mind and as long as it’s spare time,
why not. Study whenever you can.

I wouldn’t see why not just as long as you manager doesn’t mind you doing so…

I don’t think that the question even involves ethics. If it’s O.K. with your supervisor, then there’s nothing to worry about. I work in a job where I wait for stores to call our corporate office with problems. In my downtime, I will read a book or check the news online, and some of my co-workers do school work. It’s never been a problem here.
