Working Party Mulling Flextime Office hours, Winter Break

An environmental working group is considering proposals to allow flexible working hours for white-collar employees and two weeks of winter holiday for students, as part of a bid to cut air pollution that reaches peak levels during the cold season.
“Introducing some flexibility to the office hours and a winter break to the academic calendar will be discussed in the next meeting of the working group to combat air pollution in metropolises. The two proposals, if approved, will be referred to the Cabinet to be finalized,” said Behzad Ashjaei, a member of the group.
