The UAE Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) has listed conditions for overtime work during Ramadan, according to the Regulation of Labour Relations Law.
The MoHRE stated on Twitter that “overtime conditions during Ramadan are similar to those applied throughout the year.” According to the authority, an employer may request a maximum of two hours of overtime per day, but they will be entitled to compensation under the law. “Work required to prevent a massive loss, a serious accident, or the removal or mitigation of an accident is exempt from the maximum overtime hours,” according to the MoHRE, adding that “in all cases, the total number of working hours shall not exceed 144 in 3 weeks.”
