Flexible Working Hours for the Public Sector Will Extend Beyond Eid

The Civil Service Commission has announced that the flexible working hours' system for the public sector will extend beyond the Eid Al-Fitr holiday and for several months later until a study for the new system is completed entirely before moving forward. 

As per the system, state departments can choose from any of the seven-hour-long work timings:

- 7:00 am to 2:00 pm
- 7:30 am to 2:30 pm
- 8:00 am to 3:00 pm
- 8:30 am to 3:30 pm

Meanwhile, no such luck for the private sector, who will still be working the same hours as they were before the Holy Month began. Is some jealousy in order? Probably.
