Following the earlier announcement over the weekend for public sector working hours, the authorities have now confirmed an update on Ramadan working hours for the private sector in UAE.
As expected, there will be a two hour reduction in the working day for all private sector employees.
In a statement released on Monday, the ministry said, “In accordance with the requirements and nature of their work, companies may apply flexible or remote work patterns within the limits of the daily working hours during Ramadan.”
The announcement comes in the implementation of Federal Decree Law No. 33 of 2021 on the Regulation of Labour Relations and its amendments.
Even as we’re waiting for official confirmations on Ramadan 2025 dates in the UAE – astronomers have predicted that the holy month will begin from 1st March 2025.
So far, there have been updates on working hours for the federal sector in the UAE, which is from 9 am to 2.30 pm from Monday to Thursday, and from 9 am to 12 pm on Friday.
