Tengrinews.kz - Minister of Trade and Integration Arman Shakkaliyev named the condition under which Kazakhstanis can switch to a new work schedule due to the change of time zone.
He cited the East Kazakhstan region as an example.
"During the discussions in the regions, the deputies of the maslikhats supported the initiative to optimize working hours by adjusting work schedules. To date, in a number of districts of the East Kazakhstan region, the adjustment of the work schedule from 8 AM to 5:30 PM has been successfully carried out, which has received a positive assessment from residents," Shakkaliyev said at a government meeting.
According to him, these measures are aimed at creating more comfortable conditions for citizens, as well as improving the balance between professional and personal life.
"If necessary, this experience will be applied in other regions by local executive bodies," the minister added.
From March 1, 2024, a single time was established throughout Kazakhstan. In Astana, Almaty, Shymkent, Akmola, Almaty, Zhambyl, Karaganda, Kostanay, Pavlodar, North Kazakhstan, Turkestan, East Kazakhstan regions, as well as in the regions of Abay, Zhetysu and Ulytau, the clocks were moved back by 1 hour. Thus, the entire country began to live in the UTC +5 time zone.
Earlier, the Government of Kazakhstan announced the results of a study regarding a single time zone in the country.
