Workers in the private sector can work part-time for another employer

  • 28/12/2023

The First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior, Sheikh Talal Al-Khaled, issued a ministerial decision stipulating that it is permissible to work part-time for a third party (another employer) on the condition of the approval of the original employer, provided that this decision is implemented at the beginning of January 2024.


The decision also allowed workers in the private sector to practice part-time work for another employer for some time - a maximum of 4 hours per day - after issuing a part-time work permit from the Public Authority for Manpower. The contracting sector is excluded from the maximum limit, due to market need.
