The established working hours during Ramadan are from 10:00
AM to 3:00 PM. However, it is notable that the directive does not extend to the
private sector, leaving the determination of working hours during
Ramadan to
the discretion of each
private sector establishment's internal regulations,
Al-Mamlaka TV reported.
During Ramadan, official working hours will be in effect
until 3:00 PM for the entities mentioned above, reverting to their regular
schedule post-Ramadan. Certain departments necessitating different arrangements
due to official duties are exempted from this directive, allowing their working
hours to be administratively determined by their respective department heads.
Khasawneh emphasized the importance for all institutions to
observe the sanctity of the holy month and to be mindful of the
sentiments of fasting individuals, urging respect and consideration during this period.
