Jordan is close to approving an amendment that would revise labor laws in the country, with proposals to include favoring Jordanian workers over foreign workers, boosting women’s participation in the labor market, and expanding the scope of social security coverage, among other items. The government has not yet published any details about the amendments or when they will take effect – we are monitoring and will report on related developments.

As part of ensuring compliance with the amended employment regulations, employers may need to consider consulting an employment law specialist in Jordan.
