99.9% of UAE firms observed the country's midday break regulations this year. That’s according to the Ministry of Labour, which says it’s the highest success rate since the implementation of the rule 11 years ago. The annual regulation makes it compulsory for companies to give outdoor workers a break for two and a half hours every afternoon from June to September. Statistics released by the ministry show that only 58 violations were recorded in 65,262 field inspections conducted this year.
