Iran lawmakers vote for reducing weekly working hours 40

TEHRAN, Mar. 05 (MNA) – Iranian legislators have passed a bill to designate Thursdays, along with Fridays, as weekend holidays.

During its Wednesday session, Iran's Parliament approved changes to the workweek for all government employees, establishing a 40-hour workweek with a Thursday-Friday weekend.

The legislation has yet to be confirmed by the Guardian Council to turn into a law.

Currently, Iran's workweek begins on Saturday, with Friday—like in many other Islamic countries—considered a day of rest.
