Could you please check the Article 73. I guess there's something wrong. Initially it say eighty four hours per week then eight hours per day. As well as, in the month of ramadan.... thirty six hours per month???

Please provide us the link too for these laws(if you have copied it from any of the MOI website)

Am pasting here the appropriate provisions of the Labor Law for your guidance...they're self explanatory...read on...
