Ramadan 2025 working hours in Kuwait
During Ramadan 2025, government agencies and ministries in Kuwait implement a flexible working hours system, with the workday set at four and a half hours. Employees can begin their shifts within five designated time slots, ranging from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM, offering flexibility in arrival. A 15-minute grace period is provided at the beginning and end of shifts, with an additional allowance for female employees.
In addition to government offices, the traffic sector will operate from 10:00 AM to 2:30 PM, while departments such as Licensing and Technical Inspection will have extended working hours until 4:00 PM.
Furthermore, working hours for employees with disabilities, as well as their caregivers, are reduced by two hours per day with full pay during Ramadan. This adjustment applies across all government agencies to support their needs during the holy month.
These scheduling modifications aim to balance professional duties with religious observance, family time, and personal commitments while ensuring essential services continue to function smoothly.
