ISLAMABAD: The federal government is deliberating on abolishing the Saturday day-off in government offices and restoring six-day work week after a formal approval of the cabinet members, Geo News reported citing sources.
The Cabinet Division has sought recommendations from all ministries which would be referred to the federal cabinet for final decision, sources said, adding that desired outcomes could not be achieved by observing a five-day work week in government offices.
It is noteworthy to mention here that the federal cabinet had approved two-day weekly holidays in the government offices in 2022 under an energy conservation plan.
