⚖️ Legal Regulations

The Egyptian Labor Law (Law No. 12 of 2003) governs working conditions. The standard work week is 40 hours, typically from Sunday to Thursday. Employees are entitled to paid public holidays, and if work is required on a holiday, they receive double pay. Islamic holidays are determined by moon sightings and are often announced shortly before the date.

💡 Insights

The official work week runs from Sunday to Thursday, with Friday and Saturday as the weekend. During Ramadan, working hours are often reduced by 2-3 hours. A common practice is the declaration of 'compensation days' or 'day off' following a holiday that falls on a weekend, effectively creating long weekends.
