If employees in the UAE work from home during Ramadan and are asked to work beyond the reduced working hours, are they eligible for overtime?

Employees in the UAE are entitled to two hours of reduced working time each day during Ramadan, regardless of whether they are working from the office or remotely. If an employer requires an employee to work beyond the legally permitted working hours, the employee may be entitled to overtime compensation in accordance with the employment contract and labour law provisions. The mode of work — whether remote or in-office — does not remove the employer’s obligation to comply with working hour limits. Employees facing such situations may discuss the matter with their employer or seek guidance from the relevant labour authorities if needed. Have you experienced longer working hours while working from home during Ramadan, and do you think remote work makes overtime harder to track?
