The government offices returned to 9am-5pm schedule from Wednesday (19 June) after a year and a half.
The decision of bringing the old office schedule back was made in a cabinet meeting held on June 3.
On June 6, the Ministry of Public Administration issued a notification on June 6, stating, "The government has determined the office hours for all governmental, semi-governmental, autonomous, and semi-autonomous institutions to be from 9am to 5pm until further notice, starting from 19 June [the first working day after Eid-ul-Adha]."
Accordingly, after the end of the Eid holidays today, the offices started operating from 9am, and will continue till 5pm.
Back in 2022, the hours used to be 9am-5pm.
Office hours, however, were changed to 9am to 4pm from 15 November 2022 to save electricity.
The office schedule from Sunday to Thursday will be from 9am to 5pm, with a break for Zuhr prayer and lunch from 1pm to 1:30pm.
Fridays and Saturdays will be the weekly holidays as per this schedule.
