In a thoughtful move for Ramadan, Umm Al Quwain has decided to give its government workers a nice, long weekend. This means they’ll have three days off from Friday to Sunday during the holy month.
New Work Hours for Government Employees
During Ramadan, government employees will have a different work schedule. They’ll work five and a half hours each day from Monday to Thursday. The new timings are from 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM.
Umm Al Quwain: Supporting Religious Observance and Work Balance
Umm Al Quwain’s decision is all about respecting people’s religious practices. By giving them more time off, they can observe Ramadan while still handling their work responsibilities.
Similar Measures Across UAE
While this change is specific to Umm Al Quwain, other emirates in the UAE are also making adjustments for Ramadan. Some have reduced work hours or allow remote work on Fridays during the holy month.
As Ramadan approaches, UAQ is showing its commitment to inclusivity and understanding. This move ensures that government employees can observe their religious practices without sacrificing their work commitments.
