The Ministry Of Administrative Development, Labour and Social Affairs (MADLSA) has called on companies and establishments to reduce working hours to six hours per day during the holy month of Ramadan, reported Gulf Times.

MADLSA said it will receive complaints from employees of companies that are not implementing the provisions of the Labour Law through its various communication channels, including its hotline service, e-mail, or its accounts on social media.

Earlier, the official working hours for the public sector in Qatar during Ramadan had been announced.

This is ony to show the world that we care of employees.

But no monitoring or implementation.

Most of the companies work for 10hrs+1 hr lunch break on normal days and 9 hrs without lunch break during Ramadan.

No monitoring, It should be email to every company through registered email and text to registered mobile to abide by strictly.

lol there's no point of this hotline. I called to complain about being overworked in Ramadan and they told me to deal with the situation by myself.
