Dhuhr

It contains four units (rakaʿāt) and begins after the Sun reaches its zenith.On Friday, the Zuhr prayer is replaced or preceded by Friday prayer, which is obligatory for Muslim men who are above the age of puberty and meet certain requirements to pray in congregation either in a mosque or with a group of Muslims.

If you are doing qadha' for shahr Ramadhan fasting, you are allowed to terminate your fasting and break-off from it, anytime in the morning, until zawal, or salat dhuhr time. 

You are not allowed to break your qadha' fasting anytime after dhuhr. If you do, there is a kaffarah. 

This is different to Mustahab fast, where you can break your mustahab fast anytime, before dhuhr, or after dhuhr. 

And Allah knows best

If you performed Friday Prayer with the valid Friday Prayer that started their Takbiratul Ehraam before other Friday prayers in the radius of one Farrakhan,  then your prayer is valid. If you started Takbiratul Ehraam after any other valid Friday Prayer then you need to perform Dhuhr or it's Qadha if it's time has gone.

'Wassalam.

If by avoiding delay, you mean praying any of the obligatory prayers (in this case Dhuhr) with our Sunni brothers at a time before the prescribed time as understood by Shi'a Imamiyyah fiqh. That will not be counted as fulfilling one's obligation, each prayer has its prescribed beginning and ending time.

The obligatory prayers require the fulfilment of certain demands, as stipulated within the risalah amaliyyah (books of ritual practice) if these demands are not adhered to whilst performing the obligatory prayers then for a follower of Jafari fiqh their prayer  is invalid.

for example the recitation of the basmallah (in the name of Allah the all beneficent the all merciful) before the recitation of a surah (a complete one) during the prayer (except surah tawbah), as an obligation.

Or facing of the qiblah throughout the entirety of the prayer as an obligation (not turning the head from left to right whilst reciting the Salaam) which would invalidate the prayer for a follower of the Jafari school of fiqh.

Or the folding of the arms across the chest instead of holding them by the sides of the body. This would also invalidate the prayer if performed by a follower of Jafari fiqh.

Praying behind and praying with are two different things. There is common a mentioning of joining our Sunni brothers during the prayer, as a sign of unity.

However, one is required to observe the correct time and recite all that which is obligatory oneself, if joining the obligatory prayer led by our Sunni brothers.

According to the verdict of many high caliber scholars, joining the Jum'a Prayer is enough even if you are late and could not listen to the both Khutba of Jum'a.

You do not need to perform Dhuhr.

As you know, for us Muslims, prayer takes priority over absolutely everything. We plan our lives and our daily routine around prayer. We select our form of lifestyle and work based on how we can excel in our faith and get closer to God. 

Prayer, which is the most effective way to do this, must of course be done in its perfect form, and within its allocated time. 

Anything that becomes an obstacle for that, we must eliminate, even if it means loss of money or changing of work opportunity. 

In any job description, you are able to see if you can meet their requirements and also your religious requirements. If they do not give you any breaks, even toilet breaks, then in today's world that would be illegal and inhumane. 

I am sure you are able to find a few minutes, during your break, to perform your prayers, quickly, and get back to work. 

If under no circumstance are you able to take a break, or pray within the shar'i timeframe of the salat, then have trust in Allah ta'ala, who is the Razzaq, and pursue other work opportunities that would suit your Islamic values and human rights as well. 

With prayers for your success.

If you realize during the Salah that you forgot to recite Tashahhud, your Salah is valid but you need to recite the Tashahhud immediately after Salah before saying any word.

If you realised that mistake after doing something else, your Salah is valid.

Tashahhud is obligatory but it is not Rokn. Rokn is the most important obligatory with out which Salah is invalid. Forgetting Tashahhud does not invalidate the Salah.

Wassalam.
