Find your employer of record in Jordan

There are no more benefits than the statutory ones in Jordan.

Any foreign nationals you plan to hire in Jordan must have a work visa and authorization. While a working visa in Jordan allows your staff to work after they arrive, a work visa grants them authorization to enter the nation for employment-related reasons. A residency permit is required for all international employees. These vary according on the circumstances surrounding the application, such as marrying to a Jordanian citizen or employment there.

A universal sales tax with a 16% rate that operates similarly to a VAT is in place. Companies can hire an Employer of Record in Jordan to abide by tax laws.

Termination Process

Termination Process

An employment contract is deemed terminated in accordance with Section 21 of the Labor Law in the following situations:

• Both parties concur that it should end.
• Either the task itself has been finished or the contract's period has passed.
• A medical authority-verified illness or disability causes the worker to pass away or become incapable of working, depending on the situation.

The following circumstances may result in the employee's immediate termination by the employer:

• In order to obtain a benefit or harm others, the employee assumes a fake name or submits phony certificates or documents.
• The employee does not carry out the duties outlined in the job contract.
• If the employer fails to notify the proper authorities of the accident within 5 days after the date on which they learn of its occurrence, the worker has committed a fault that has cost the employer significant material harm.
• Despite receiving 2 warning letters, the employee continues to violate the workplace's internal rules, which include safety rules.
• If a worker misses work without a valid excuse for more than ten days in a row, or more than 20 days in a year, they may be fired provided that written notice of their dismissal is published at least once in a daily local paper and sent by registered mail to their address.

Notice Period

If the employer gives notice, he may or may not release the employee from employment for the length of the notice term, with the exception of the final seven days of the notice period. The employee is always entitled to his pay during the notice period.

If the employee gives notice and quits the job before the notice period is over, they forfeit their right to compensation for the time they were away and must make up the difference by paying the employer what would have been their own pay during that time.

Severance Pay

A worker is entitled to receive payment for any unused leave days if their job is terminated for any cause before they exhaust their annual leave.

Probation Period

The probation period in Jordan is 13 months.

Paid Time Offs

Every employee should be eligible for 14 days of yearly leave pay each year of service. After five years of service, the employee should be eligible for 21 days of leave pay. With contractor management services companies can make sure to provide the rightful time off.

Public Holidays

There are 10 national holidays throughout the year.

Vacation Holidays

There are 25 vacation holidays throughout the year.

Sick Days

Every employee has the right to fourteen days of sick leave with pay every year, based on a medical practitioner's report that has been accepted by the establishment. If a worker is hospitalized, their sick leave may be increased for a total of fourteen more days, with full pay, and with half pay if they are not, but they present documentation from a medical board that has been accepted by the employer.
