The Civil Service Commission (CSC) has emphasized the importance of adhering to the new decision regarding official working hours during the holy month of Ramadan. The decision introduces a flexible working system with four and a half hours for both morning and evening shifts.

As per the CSC's decision, work during Ramadan will begin from 8:30 AM and end by 10:30 AM. The commission clarified that government agencies can determine the exact start and end times based on work needs. For the evening shift, the working hours will also be four and a half hours, with a 15-minute grace period at the start of the shift, and a similar grace period for female employees at the end of their workday. All evening shifts must conclude by 6:45 PM.

The Civil Service Commission reiterated that the fingerprint verification system must continue to be used during Ramadan to ensure compliance with the established rules and regulations regarding official working hours. This system plays a crucial role in monitoring attendance and work schedules across government agencies.

The commission has stressed the importance of government agencies adhering strictly to the prescribed working hours, including the evening shifts. It is essential that all agencies follow the guidelines to maintain an efficient and consistent work environment during Ramadan.
