Some Dubai Employees Will Get A 4-day work Week This Summer

  • Starting July 1, summer workdays in Dubai are about to look a little different for some government employees 👏

  • Thanks to the “Our Flexible Summer” initiative, staff can enjoy shorter work weeks until September 12 — yes, that means a potential Friday off.

  • Good news for you! Government departments can now split their employees into two groups, based on what suits their operations best.

  • Group 1 will work for 8 hours from Monday to Thursday and enjoy a full day off on Friday

  • Group 2 will work 7 hours from Monday to Thursday and 4.5 hours on Friday, keeping Fridays short and sweet 😍

  • The Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR) announced this move following the success of a pilot run in 2024.
