It further said that workers can be allowed to arrive later, up to ten in the morning, as long as they finish the assigned five working hours and fulfill all work-related obligations.

During the holy month, a portion of the workforce—up to thirty percent—will be able to work remotely. The system will prioritize Qatari mothers and individuals with disabilities, so long as it doesn’t interfere with their ability to complete their work obligations.
The circular further said that official working hours and dates for the health and education sectors will be determined by the Ministry of Public Health and the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, respectively, within their respective jurisdictions, based on the nature of the task.
