As part of its continuous efforts to organize work procedures in the private and oil sectors, the Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) issued administrative decision number 552 specifying places where women are allowed to work at night (12 activities), reports Al- Anba daily.
The Labor Law stipulates that a female employee doing a man’s job must be given equal compensation. Female employees have the same standard working hours as male employees, but they are not allowed to work from 7:00 pm to 6:00 am.
However, women working in clinics, pharmacies, hotels, nursery schools, homes for the handicapped, airlines, tourism offices, theaters and entertainment industries are allowed to work beyond the standard working hours. Female employees in cooperative societies, public utilities, beauty salons, tailoring shops, banks and offices may work during the night but only until midnight.
