It looks like the executable ruby is not in cron’s path, so you need to use the full path to the executable.
Change your monday.sh script from:
#!/bin/bash
ruby ~/Documents/Scripts/monday_task.rb >> ~/Documents/Scripts/monday
to:
#!/bin/bash
/home/asarluhi/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.3.1/bin/ruby /home/asarluhi/Documents/Scripts/monday_task.rb >> /home/asarluhi/Documents/Scripts/monday
As your syslog demonstrates the monday.sh script is being run on time so absolute path-names is the only answer. As per OP comment ruby also has to be prefixed with absolute path-name.
