SHAH ALAM: Selangor civil servants will get to leave work 30 minutes early during Ramadan, depending on their nine-hour work schedule.
State Secretary Datuk Dr Ahmad Fadzli Ahmad Tajuddin said the state government would implement flexible working hours, which shortens rest periods by 30 minutes to allow staff to go home earlier.
However, service counters will continue operating as usual to ensure public services run smoothly.
"This will not affect the counter services at any department or agency under the Selangor state government," he said in a statement on Friday (Feb 28).
Under the flexible working hours schedule for Ramadan, working hours start between 7am and 9am.
Rest periods will be from 1pm to 1.30pm from Monday to Thursday, and 12.30pm to 2.30pm on Fridays.
Employees can then clock out between 4pm and 5.30pm.
Ahmad Fadzli said the initiative, among others, aims to enhance the welfare of Selangor civil servants and enable them to perform their duties more comfortably while fasting.
"The state government remains committed to ensuring the well-being of its civil servants without compromising service delivery efficiency, as part of our efforts to improve public service quality for the people," he added. – Bernama
