RIYADH — The official working hours for the employees of Saudi Aramco would continue to remain from 7:00 in the morning until 4:00 in the evening. This was confirmed to Okaz/Saudi Gazette by an informed source at the state-owned oil company in response to queries about some reports being circulated on social media in this regard.

The rumors appeared on social media following the introduction by the oil giant of a new option in duty time in some of its business areas, and that allows some employees to reschedule their duty time from 8:00 am until 5:00 pm. This is in accordance with the necessary administrative regulations that aimed to achieve more flexibility, while maintaining the required business continuity.
