Accounts on social media circulated a report claiming that the Saturday holiday has been cancelled from official working hours in Syrian government departments, and that two hours have been added to the working day.
The Kashaf team followed up on the report and reviewed the accounts of the General Secretariat of the Presidency of the Syrian Arab Republic, and found no decision concerning any change to the Saturday holiday or the addition of hours to official working time.
Why is this claim false?
Absence of an official source: The report of the Saturday holiday being cancelled circulated without any reliable source, as the General Secretariat of the Presidency issued no decision changing the holiday or adding hours to official working time.
