UAE has announced that the midday break rule period – which started on June 15, prohibiting any outdoor labour work between 12:30pm and 3:00pm – will end today (September 15).
The mandatory annual midday work break aims to ensure the well-being and safety of labourers working under direct sunlight and to protect them from heat during summer months.
