What are the legal working hours in Bahrain?

Under Bahrain's Labour Law (Law No. 36 of 2012), normal working time is limited, with reduced hours during Ramadan, plus rest breaks and a weekly rest day. Overtime must be paid at a higher rate than your normal pay. You are also entitled to paid annual leave. If you are made to work long extra hours with no overtime pay, keep a written record of your dates and hours, because that helps if you complain. Your employer must follow the law, and a contract cannot legally take away these rights. If your hours break the law, you can contact the LMRA on 17506055 or the Ministry of Labour for help.
