The Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs yesterday tweeted  that outdoor work must stop in the country from 11.30am to 3pm, between June 15 and August 31. According to the ban instituted in 2007, labourers are not to be made to work for more than five hours in the outdoors before 11.30am. Employers who flout the ban will face action. They could be shut down for up to one month, the ministry warned. The hotline for people to call in case they spot summer working-hours violations is 44241101.
