A law meant to protect people in Qatar from working outside in scorching summer temperatures has been broken hundreds of times by employers in the past few weeks.
Ministry of Labour figures seen by The Independent reveal there have been 276 violations of the Summer Working Hours directive – which should prevent anyone from working outside between the hours of 10am and 3.30pm from 1 June until 15 September – since the annual law came into force at the beginning of last month.
