Since the beginning of this year, several districts of SKO have switched to a new work schedule. Katonkaragai district was the first to test this change - as a pilot project. Soon, 8 more districts were added to this system: Zaisan, Tarbagatai, Ulan, Kurchum, Markakol, Samar, Bolshoi Naryn and Altai.
According to the new rules, state institutions and enterprises in these districts work from 08:00 a.m. to 05:30 p.m. Lunch break is scheduled from 12:00 to 13:30. And schools, kindergartens and medical institutions will continue to work according to the previous schedule, because their working hours are formed in this format.

In the Altai district, these changes included not only state structures, but also the social sphere. The head of the district maslikhat, Larisa Grechushnikova, noted that this new system is very convenient for residents:
It has been half a year since the maslikhat of Altai district switched to the new working mode. Since the employees have small children, they need to be taken to kindergarten at 8:00, they also need to be transported to school, and some have to live in private houses and get up early. In addition, industrial enterprises also start working at 8:00. Therefore, there is no difference in the work schedule between budget organizations, public service and industrial enterprises. It is very convenient," said Larisa Grechushnikova.
Dostyk House methodologist Zinaida Natarova also supported it.
- "I support this decision, because for me as a resident of the private sector, the extra hour spent on the garden plot is very important," she said.
Altai district mayor Renat Kurmambayev also supported this innovation, and said that the residents of the district fully welcomed the change in working hours:
"Altai district all countries Meetings were held in their homes regarding the change of work schedule. The people supported the initiative of optimizing the working hours. These measures are aimed at improving the physical conditions of the employees, - said Renat Kurmambaev. The main goal of this innovation is to improve the harmony between the districts. Taking into account the natural features of the region (early sunrise and sunset), this solution allows for efficient use of daylight. This, in turn, increases labor productivity and improves the quality of life of residents.
A new work schedule has entered into force in Ulan district as well. Meetings with representatives of local authorities, heads of farms and heads of educational institutions were held in this area. Akim of Ulan district Arman Bekbosynov noted that the new schedule was unanimously supported by residents: "Starting today, a new work schedule has been introduced in our district. In 16 rural districts of Ulan district, meetings were held with leaders of farms, state revenue department, police and defense departments, as well as representatives of state employees and educational institutions. These meetings were also attended by regional administrations and their deputies. About the start of the working day at 08:00 the proposal was introduced and it was unanimously supported. Industrial enterprises and large agricultural structures also work according to this schedule, which makes the work schedule of budget organizations more convenient. Schools, kindergartens and medical institutions will keep their previous work schedule," said Arman Bekbosynov. As Rustem Aliyev, an employee of a local poultry farm, said:
- Now it is convenient for our family to go to work and children to school at the same time, we all go out at the same time, do housework in the evening, spend time with children, and find time for family.

This step is aimed at improving the organization of work in the East Kazakhstan region, increasing the quality of life and creating a harmonious work environment for all residents.
