After 10 days of the implementation of flexible working hours in most government institutions, the Ministry of Communications too opted to go with the decision, starting today.
The decision, which Al-Qabas obtained a copy of, stated that working hours start at 9:45 am and the time of departure is 3:15 pm, indicating that flexible working hours during the month of Ramadan will include all employees except those working in shift systems. The decision stipulates that the employee fulfills the daily working period of four and a half hours.
In this regard, sources told Al-Qabas that the Ministry of Communications was, throughout the past period, confused about the mechanism for applying flexible working hours and determining working hours, and sent a letter to the Civil Service Bureau on March 29 regarding the official working hours during the month of Ramadan.
The sources indicated that the flexible working hours allowed government agencies to choose more than one of the scheduled working hours.
