Sharjah government employees already enjoy extended weekends, adhering to a four-day workweek. Since January 2022, government departments in the emirate have operated on a three-day weekend schedule, with employees off on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
The announcement follows the UAE’s Federal Authority for Government Human Resources’ declaration of Eid Al Fitr holidays for federal government employees nationwide.
