Jordan to crack down on illegal workers

Jordan has reaffirmed its commitment in tackling illegal workers in the country

[Jordan's] Minister of Labour Nidal Katamine on Wednesday stressed that the ministry will not hesitate to take legal measures against workers and business owners who violate the Labour Law.

He noted that the ministry’s inspection campaigns targeting illegal foreign workers of various nationalities are aimed at regulating the labour market.

As of January 7, the ministry granted business owners and guest workers violating the law a two-month grace period to rectify their situation.
