Ramadan in UAE; 2 hours work reduction in private sector
cancel

Dubai: The UAE government announced a reduction of two working hours per day for private sector employees during Ramadan. The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) stated that this adjustment aligns with the religious significance of the holy month.



According to the guidelines issued by MoHRE, private sector companies have the flexibility to adopt remote work arrangements, within the framework of daily working hours specified for Ramadan. This initiative aims to accommodate the spiritual observances of fasting employees while ensuring the continuity of business operations.

The private sector employees in the Emirates usually work eight to nine hours a day. During Ramadan, this will be reduced by two hours daily, providing employees with more time for religious practices and personal commitments. Any additional hours worked beyond the reduced schedule may be considered overtime, entitling workers to extra compensation.

The announcement comes in conjunction with the UAE government's declaration of official working hours for federal government employees during Ramadan. Federal government offices will operate from 9 am to 2:30 pm from Monday to Thursday, and from 9 am to 12 pm on Fridays.


Ramadan, according to the Hijri calendar published by the Dubai Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department (IACAD), is anticipated to commence on Tuesday, March 12, 2024.

These adjusted working hours apply to both fasting and non-fasting employees, aiming to facilitate their participation in spiritual activities and cultural practices during this sacred month. Ministries and federal agencies will adhere to the specified working hours, ensuring a harmonious balance between professional responsibilities and religious observances.
