Frequently Asked Questions about Labor and emloyment Law
Under the Jordanian Labor Law, if an employee is terminated without a legal reason or proper notice, they may be entitled to compensation for unfair dismissal, in addition to any unpaid wages and benefits. Employers must follow lawful termination procedures and respect notice periods. If your termination was arbitrary or without justification, you have the right to file a labor complaint or take legal action before the Labor Court in Jordan
According to the Jordan Labor Law, end-of-service compensation (also called severance pay) depends on the nature of the contract. For indefinite contracts, employees are generally entitled to one month’s wage for each year of service if they resign after five years, or if they are dismissed unfairly. Specific calculations may vary depending on contract type, years of service, and reason for termination.
Yes. As per Article 59 of the Jordanian Labor Law, any work exceeding the standard 8 hours per day or 48 hours per week qualifies as overtime. Employees are entitled to a 25% increase over their regular hourly wage for overtime, and 50% for work on official holidays or weekends, unless otherwise agreed by contract. If you are not receiving your overtime pay, you may file a claim.

They can file complaints regarding unpaid wages, illegal termination, or poor working conditions. It is also essential that foreign workers have valid work permits to ensure legal protection. Our office assists foreign workers in navigating their rights and filing complaints before the competent authorities
The Labor Law in Jordan grants women several protections, including paid maternity leave for 10 weeks, protection from dismissal during pregnancy and maternity leave, and the right to nursing breaks. Employers with more than 20 female employees must provide a childcare facility. Women also have full rights to equal pay and protection from workplace discrimination and harassment
To legally work in Jordan, a foreign worker must obtain a valid work permit issued by the Ministry of Labor. The employer is responsible for submitting the application, and approval depends on the type of job, availability of local workers, and sector regulations.
Key requirements include:
A valid employment contract
A medical examination from an approved clinic
No criminal record
Compliance with sector-specific conditions (e.g., agriculture, construction, domestic work)
Foreigners are not allowed to work without a permit, and doing so may result in fines, deportation, or legal penalties. Our law office can help with legal advice and follow-up on foreign labor permits in Jordan.
