Working Hours during Ramadan

According to the Labor Law 14 of 2004 the maximum allowed working time during Ramadan are six (6) hours.
I have noticed that my girlfriend at the American School of Doha (ASD) has to work from 8 am to 3 pm which are 7 hours. How come the ASD can break the State Law as they wish?

Our Client (local) works from 08:00am- 01:00pm!! no complaints though.

I know tons of companies where the working hours are 8-10 hours even in Ramadan and the authorities are fully aware of this fact.

Welcome to Qatar.......where rules are made just to be put into black and white.
