Transport ministry staff granted flexible hours for Ramadan
The work should commence between 8:30 and 10:30 am, allowing employees to arrive and depart within this timeframe after completing 4.5 hours of work.
Ahmed Al-Majren, Acting Undersecretary of the Ministry of Transportation, has issued a circular outlining flexible working hours for ministry employees during the Holy Month of Ramadan. The circular stipulates that work should commence between 8:30 and 10:30 am, allowing employees to arrive and depart within this timeframe after completing 4.5 hours of work.
Al-Majren clarified that the decision excludes individuals with reduced working hours or those permitted partial unpaid leave, as their designated work hours are from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
The directive specifies that an employee arriving at the designated start time, without utilizing the grace period, may depart 15 minutes earlier than scheduled. In such instances, the employee’s 15-minute grace period will be appended to their end-of-day schedule, with no allowance for dividing it between arrival and departure times.
