The Civil Service Commission announced on Wednesday the details of the work week starting Sunday, Sept. 20, with the Eid holiday in question.
The body said State employees will be entitled to the official three public holidays for Eid and the remaining two days will be considered ''leave'' from work. Should Eid fall on Sunday, employees would have Wednesday and Thursday as leave. And if Eid falls on Monday, Sunday and Thursday will be considered as leave.
This however does not apply to bodies which work on public holidays. These institutions will have to make their own arrangements in view of these timings, a statement said. The commission recalled that the 30th day of the holy month of Ramadan is always considered as a day of ''leave,'' unless the crescent is sighted and Eid is announced.ـ
