1a
A day's work liability, when working in a work-sharing group of two or more people.
It is incurred when two or more people work together on one of the team's work project. Each day someone else works with one on his project, the latter has a day's work liability and the former has a day's work credit, ubbu. The liability is usually paid off by working an equivalent time on a work project of the one with the work credit. See also description under ubbu. A work liability is commonly expressed in terms of being shared mutually by one who has incurred the liability and the person to whom it is incurred.
