In a statement Adama Barrow said that public sector employees would now have to work a half-day on Fridays too.
Four years ago, Mr Jammeh had said the country's mainly Muslim population should use Fridays to pray, socialise and tend to fields.
However, under the new rules, the working week is actually officially shorter by three-and-a-half hours.
Official working hours are now 08:00 to 16:00 from Monday to Thursday and 08:00 to 12:30 on Friday - making 36-and-a-half hours a week.
Previously public sector employees were meant to work 40 hours a week, from 08:00 to 18:00, Monday to Thursday.
