Prime Minister Bisher Khasawneh’s office announced Monday that official working hours during the holy month of Ramadan will be from 10 am to 3 pm.
The official working hours at ministries, official departments, institutions, public offices, official universities, municipalities, joint service councils, the Greater Amman Municipality and government-owned companies will be from 10 in the morning until three in the afternoon, according to a circular.
Working hours will return to normal after the end of the fasting month, it said.
However, the circular excluded employees whose nature of work requires otherwise, and that their working hours are to be set by the heads of their departments.
The Prime Minister called on all institutions to observe the sanctity of the holy month and respect the feelings of fasting people, said the statement.
