The program, which was launched by the SSC at the
end of last June, is funded by the Netherlands and Norway and provides services
to Jordanian workers and foreign worker. It is sponsored by the Ministry of
Planning and International Cooperation, in cooperation with the International
Labor Organization.
In a statement on Saturday, the SSC said
establishments must be covered by the provisions of the law as of June 1, 2021,
or any date thereafter to benefit from the program.
Businesses should also have 10 workers or less, and
should be eligible to benefit from the program’s services, the SSC explained.
On other requirements, the SSC-insured worker’s
deductible wage should not exceed JD500. The eligible beneficiary shouldn’t
have previously benefited from the program, or any relevant initiatives.
Under this program, which lasts for 18 months, wages
are subsidized, as beneficiaries are paid a lump sum support of JD100 for a
3-month period, and assistance is equally paid to the employer and worker at
JD50 each.
Establishments are allowed to register a maximum of 10
workers to benefit from the program, while agricultural businesses can register
their workers, regardless of their number, provided that they are covered by
all social coverage categories.
