Greetings,

During Ramadan, private sector employees in the UAE are entitled to a reduced work schedule by two hours per day as per UAE labor laws.

If your company provides a prayer break from 12:00 to 2:00 PM on Fridays, the total working hours should still comply with the reduced Ramadan schedule.
