New UAE weekend: Banks will stay open for six days a week, including Fridays | Banking – Gulf News
Banks in the country will continue to operate for six days a week, including Fridays, once the new working week rule comes into effect, the UAE Central Bank said in a circular.
Banking halls should operate for a minimum of five hours a day, six days a week, “except for working hours during the holy month of Ramadan”, the circular said.
“It is left to the banks to determine the working hours and days of the administration and the back offices, as needed, and implement a shift system for the branches,” the circular seen by Gulf News said.
The UAE government earlier this week announced that the country will transition to a four-and-a half-day working week, with Friday afternoon, Saturday, and Sunday forming the new weekend. All Federal government departments will move to the new weekend from January 1, 2022.
