Dubai Announces Shorter Work Hours and Suspends Work on Fridays for Government Employees

More Than a Month of Long Weekends Ahead

Thus, it is worth noting that, in hopes of trying out flexible working hours during the warm months in the Arabian Peninsula, Dubai had to reduce working hours and refrain from working on Fridays for all the governmental employees.

Publicised through UAE BARQ by the Dubai Government Human Resources Department on Wednesday evening, the programme called ‘Our Summer is Flexible’ will last eight weeks. For more than a month, from Monday, August 12 till Monday, September 30, employees in 15 government entities will work from Monday to Thursday only, in other words, have three-day weekends.

In this period, civil servants will work four days a week, following a 7 a. m. to 2 p. m schedule.

As for the private sector, it can be noted that working during the summer is also regulated by individual companies, many of which have already experimented with flexible working hours. This is in contrast to the time of national emergency or public holidays during which the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation pre-designs a certain working schedule.

VIPs Getting Ready For Summer As Ibrahim Al Jarwan, Board Chairman of the Emirates Astronomical Society and member of the Arab Union for Space and Astronomy Sciences, says summer has started officially with the arrival of the first day of summer on the last Friday of June. The second half of summer begins on August 11 and is accompanied by increased humidity, high temperature, and increased activity of moisture Koi winds, which forms cumulonimbus clouds over mountainous territory and areas adjacent to them, which is associated with thunderstorms. These winds are the recent bad weather of Al Ain.

The local folklore identifies the rising of the Suhail star as the beginning of cooler temperature, meaning the burning summer is over. Though summer has begun now, people can expect autumn season to begin on Monday 23 rd September that is the autumnal equinox.
