Work deadline extension pending decision
The article concerns extending the deadline for rectifying the status of violations among non-Jordanian workers in Jordan. The Ministry of Labor's spokesperson clarified that, after the end of the current four-month grace period, which expires on September 30, 2026, the ministry will assess the possibility of extending it again, based on a decision by the Council of Ministers. The current deadline applies to all nationalities of non-Jordanian workers who are in violation, with provisions for exemptions and facilitations, such as discounts of more than 50% on permit and fine fees. Additionally, an electronic deportation notice will be imposed on violating workers if they do not regularize their status before the deadline, with the possibility of requesting the cancellation of deportation in exchange for a fine of 5,000 Jordanian dinars. The ministry continues inspection operations and imposes fines on employers found to have non-Jordanian workers working unlawfully, with fines starting at a minimum of 800 dinars per offending worker. The purpose of this decision is to regulate the labor market and ensure compliance with legislation, while ongoing assessments are being made to make final decisions regarding the extension.
