3/5/25, 10:32 AM Dubai approves flexible, remote work policy for employees...
The policy grants Dubai government employees up to three flexible working hours, provided they
complete 5.5 hours from Monday to Thursday and three hours on Friday. Furthermore, employees
are permitted to work remotely for up to two days a week, depending on the job requirements, work
conditions, and the nature of their responsibilities.

The policy mandates that employees should coordinate with their direct managers to ensure smooth
operations and maintain productivity, ensuring no disruption to daily tasks in the interest of public
service.

This initiative is part of Dubai’s ongoing commitment to creating the best possible work environment
for government employees, enhancing their comfort, and motivating them to increase productivity.
Additionally, the policy encourages the private sector to adopt similar measures during Ramadan that
are tailored to the specific needs of businesses and ensure the seamless continuity of their
operations.
