The board of directors of the Jeddah Chamber of Commerce and Industry has reversed a decision to change its weekend to Fridays and Saturdays.
The Jeddah Chamber of Commerce and Industry announced last week it was switching its weekend starting April 1 and that the Jeddah Chamber of Commerce and Industry board of directors had unanimously approved the move. However, a circular issued by the board of directors yesterday asked staff members to take note of new timings from April 1, which include the whole of Thursday and Friday off. Staff at the Jeddah Chamber of Commerce and Industry previously used to work half day on Thursdays.
Al-Sharif Awad Al-Hibaili, chairman of the JCCI Labor Committee, said a number of staff members had reservations about Saturday being a holiday and asked the board to reverse the decision to change the weekend. "The board of directors showed understanding toward the staff's request and revoked its earlier decision," he added.
