Saudi Gazette - 5-day week in private sector from August

"The private sector will officially have a five-day week from next month, according to a source in the Ministry of Labor.

Like their public sector counterparts, private sector employees will now also have a two-day weekend without the need to put in extra hours during their working days. The source said that the working time per week will not exceed 40 hours.

The off-days will be decided by employers, said the source, adding that the law does not compel them to specify the off-days as in the government sector. "
