Job interview - informing about the intent to pray

IS A MUSLIM OBLIGATED TO LET THEIR EMPLOYER KNOW DURING THE JOB INTERVIEW ITSELF THAT THEY INTEND TO PRAY AT WORK?

In principle, an employee doesn’t need to let their employer know during the job interview that they intend to pray at work.¹ This is because the employee is not compelled to make his religious beliefs public as a rule (see: here). The silence of the employee with regards to this question at the time of the conclusion of the contract cannot be drawn up as a refusal of their rights arising from the principle of mutual consideration in accordance with Section 242 of the Civil Code in connection with the employment contract (see here for general information on prayer and the principal of mutual consideration).

Only in the rarest of cases wherein the employee is aware before the conclusion of the contract that their prayer will be compromised by the contractually obligated work are they then supposed to inform the employer of their intentions of prayer.²
