3/5/25, 10:33 AM Dubai Government Adopts Flexible Working Hours and Remote Work Policy for Ramadan - UAE - Emirates24|7
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.
