The Public Authority for Manpower has drawn employers’ attention to a small clause that is easy to forget: the electronic working hours notice — and its QR code — must be displayed on the door of the establishment.
Where exactly
In a clearly visible place at the entrance, not inside the office and not in a file. The reason is stated: so that the authority’s inspectors can look at it and verify arrival and departure records during an inspection visit, without having to ask anyone for it.
Why this matters to the worker, not only the employer
The displayed notice is what gets read at inspection. If arrivals and departures are recorded electronically, then what is recorded is the reference point in any dispute over working hours, not what is said out loud. And putting it at the door means the worker can see it too.
What the authority said
That complying with the requirements helps organise the working environment and makes inspection easier. The circular mentions no deadline and no penalty — it is a call to comply.
