The UAE's Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation has called on private sector companies to offer employees "flexible work patterns" on Friday due to the unstable weather conditions.
In a statement on social media, the Ministry said necessary measures need to be taken by companies to ensure outdoor work, which is necessary to resume, complies with the occupational health and safety requirements.
They added that "companies also need to ensure the health and safety of workers commuting to and from outdoor work locations".
Remote working has been put in place for federal government employees in the UAE. However, this decision excludes staff whose roles require on-site presence.
The Ministry calls on private sector companies across the UAE to apply flexible work patterns tomorrow (Friday, 27 October) given the current weather conditions.
