Witnesses reported steady activity in major cities including Port Gentil, an opposition stronghold which saw deadly violence after the election.
Activists called for the strike saying the poll win of Ali Ben Bongo, the son of late leader Omar Bongo, was a fix.
The government urged workers to ignore the opposition calls.
The BBC's Linel Kwatsi in the capital Libreville said there were plenty of taxis on the streets in the morning - a popular way for middle-class people to get to work.
He said the city had been quiet since the election on 30 August, and Monday was much the same story, with fewer people around than usual.
Strike condemned
The AFP news agency reported similar activity in Port Gentil, quoting residents as saying they were going to work as normal.
Mike Jocktane, spokesman for beaten presidential candidate Andre Mba Obame, said the strike was intended to denounce the election result.
