My company has just released our ramadan work schedule, 8AM-3:30PM for muslims, 8AM-6PM for non-muslims... I though it was the same sched for both? Or is this the 'new trend?

PBH is correct, legally speaking it is 6 hours for all

regs. state two hours shorter per day than normal (for all), depends on your working hours; most ofice workers normally have a 48 hour week, restraurant and service industries have a 54 hour week.
it may aslo vary as some companies have instituted a 2 day weekend, but to compensate for the loss of man hours have increased the working hours over the 5 days.

if you check out the labour contract - point 10 the contractual working week used to be 48 hours (6 days times 8 hours a day), with the exception of security, hospitality, hotels etc where it was 54 hours (6 days times 9 hours a day).
with the introduction of the 2 day weekend, many companies now have a productivity problem, as you have to work about 9.5 hours a day to get 48 hours a week (for normal staff) and about 10.5 hours a day for hotel staff - this is exclusive of their lunch breaks etc. so someone in the hotel industry could easily pull a 12 hour day - if they wanted a 2 day weekend!
the law does not state 6 hour days - it states reduced by 2 hours per day - but this was actually based on the old model of a 6 day working week of 8 hours a day:
Article 65
“The maximum or normal working hours for adult employees shall be eight hours per day or forty eight hours per week. However, working hours may be increased to nine hours per day for people employed in trading, hotels, cafes, guarding, restaurants and other jobs that may be added by a decision from the Minister of Labour & Social Affairs. The daily working hours may also be reduced with regard to onerous or harmful jobs by a decision from the Minister of Labour & Social Affairs and the ordinary working hours shall be reduced by two hours during Ramadan.
The time which the employee spends on his way to and from the place of work shall not be included in the working hours.”
