Dubai has announced flexible working hours for government employees from July 1 to September 12, under the ‘Our Flexible Summer’ initiative.
Making the announcement on Sunday, the Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR) said it will be implemented based on each entity’s discretion.
The work pattern will align with the official five-day working hours, with the employees divided into two groups.
The first group will work eight hours from Monday to Thursday and enjoy Friday as a full holiday, while the second group will work seven hours from Monday to Thursday and 4.5 hours on Friday, the authority outlined.
The move is "aimed at enhancing work-life balance for government employees", the authority said, adding that it follows the "success of its pilot phase in 2024".
