I know it is 6 hours work schedule for the Ramadan period. But construction industry as ours had 48 hour weekly works, which is 9 hours a day for 6 days a week and alternative Saturdays off!
I would like to know if there is any restriction in weekly working hours?
Daf is theoretically correct, but in practice? Some private companies if not most- and even govt-owned corporations to some extent- NO. Check HMC and you'll find out the truth.
Article 73 (Qatar labour Law) The maximum ordinary working hours shall be 48 hours per week at the rate of eight hours per day with the exception of the month of Ramadan when the maximum working hours shall be thirty six hours per month at the rate of six hours per day. The time spent by the worker in transportation to and from the place of work and residence of the worker shall not form part of the working hours. The working hours shall include an interval or more for prayer, rest and taking of meals which interval or intervals shall not be less than one hour and shall not be more than three hours. The said intervals shall not be taken into consideration in calculating the working hours in fixing the rest interval but the worker shall not work for more than five consecutive hours. The Minister shall by a decision specify the types of work in respect of which the work may continue without stoppage for the purpose of rest.
