We would like to inform you that according to the Saudi Labor Law, the number of legal working hours is 48 hours per week or 8 hours per day. In Ramadan, working hours are reduced to 6 hours per day or 36 hours per week. The law states the following:
A worker may not actually work for more than eight hours a day if the employer uses the daily work criterion or more than forty-eight hours a week if he uses the weekly criterion. During the month of Ramadan, the actual working hours for Muslims shall be reduced to a maximum of six hours a day or thirty-six hours a week.
Article 99
The number of working hours provided for in Article (98) of this Law may be raised to nine hours a day for certain categories of workers or in certain industries and jobs where the worker does not work continuously. It may likewise be reduced to seven hours a day for certain categories of workers or in certain hazardous or harmful industries or jobs. Categories of workers, industries and jobs referred to shall be determined pursuant to a decision by the Minister.
Article 100
In firms where work is done in shifts, an employer may, with the Ministry’s approval, increase the number of working hours to more than eight hours a day or forty eight hours a week, provided that the average working hours in three weeks time shall not be more or less than eight hours a day or forty eight hours a week.
Article 106
An employer may not comply with the provisions of Articles (98), (101) and Paragraph (1) of Article (104) of this Law, in the following cases:
1. Annual inventory activities, preparation of the budget, liquidation, closing of accounts and preparations for discount and seasonal sales, provided that the number of days during which the workers work shall not exceed thirty days a year.
2. If the work is intended to prevent a hazardous accident, remedy its impact or avoid an imminent loss of perishable materials.
3. If the work is intended to meet unusual work pressure.
4. Eids, other seasons, occasions and seasonal activities specified pursuant to a decision by the Minister. In all of the above cases, the actual working hours shall not exceed ten hours a day or sixty hours a week.
