Dubai To Implement Flexible Summer Work Hours,

Suspend Friday Operations For Select Government

Entities

Authorities in Dubai have announced the launch of a pilot initiative to reduce working hours for

participating government entities during the summer. This initiative, organized by the Dubai

Government Human Resources Department (DGHR), will also suspend work on Fridays.

The ‘Our Flexible Summer’ initiative will reduce work hours to seven per day for 15 government
entities in Dubai from August 12 to September 30. Most government employees in Dubai currently

enjoy a two-and-a-half-day weekend (Friday half-day, Saturday, and Sunday). With this initiative,

employees at participating government departments will benefit from a longer weekend for seven

weeks.
