Starting from July 1, 2023, Kazakhstan’s legislation would envisage the provision of a four-day working week, as several articles of the Labour Code have been amended recently, according to Uzbek news agency Daryo.

Thus, parties may ink an employment contract permitting establishing a four-day working week alternating with a five-day or six-day working week, the article explains, adding that Sundays are a day off under any agreement of the parties. The second or third rest day for a five-day and (or) four-day working week shall be established by collective agreement or work schedule rules, according to Daryo. 

In addition, the Code stipulates that the total duration of overtime work must not exceed 12 hours per month for a four-day, five-day, and six-day week, and 120 hours per year to establish a cumulative working time record, the article adds.
