Dubai government employees will have more flexibility in their work schedules during Ramadan<\/strong>. The new policy allows public sector workers to adjust their hours and work remotely for up to two days a week, as long as their job responsibilities allow it.<\/p>\n

New Working Hours for Public Sector Employees during Ramadan<\/strong><\/h3>\n

From Monday to Thursday, government employees<\/a> will work from 9 AM to 2:30 PM, while on Fridays, they will finish earlier at 12 PM<\/strong>. Those opting for flexible hours must complete at least 5.5 hours of work per day (Monday to Thursday) and three hours on Friday.<\/p>\n

Remote Work Options<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Dubai\u2019s new policy also supports remote work, giving employees the choice to work from home for two days a week<\/strong>. However, this depends on the nature of their job and their employer\u2019s approval.<\/p>\n

Private Sector Ramadan Work Hours<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation has confirmed that private sector employees<\/a> will also have shorter working hours<\/strong>. By law, private sector workers can reduce their daily work schedule by two hours throughout Ramadan.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This initiative follows a federal government decision to ease working conditions for employees during Ramadan. Shorter hours aim to support workers in balancing professional and personal commitments during the holy month.<\/p>\n

With Ramadan expected to start on Saturday, March 1<\/strong><\/a>, these adjustments will help create a more manageable and productive work environment during the fasting period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
