AMMAN —
Head of the Workers’ House
Hamada Abu Nijmeh has said that the decision to
raise the minimum wage for non-Jordanian workers went into in force as soon as
it was approved, despite not being published in the Official Gazette, and is
legally binding and enforceable, according to AmmanNet.

Abu Nijmeh said
that the failure to publish the decision is due to “a dysfunction in the
government’s procedures”, because it is supposed to be published for the
purpose of informing concerned parties and stakeholders. He said that there is
no information about the reason for failing to publish it. He added that this
creates a problem in terms of implementing the decision.
Abu Nijmeh
confirmed that raising the minimum wage will contribute to improving the
standard of living for workers, including
Syrian workers. He added that as of
the beginning of 2023, there will be another wage increase, bringing the
minimum wage for foreign workers to JD260, as is the case for Jordanians.
Noting that the
tripartite committee decided last January that the minimum wage for
non-Jordanian workers should be increased to JD245 from JD230.
