We think INS Global is a good solution about starting in a market like China. Understanding the market doesn’t mean you need to set up a company immediately.
INS Global’s PEO can manage your recruitment and employment needs in Jordan with just 4 simple steps.
PEO and EOR are often mentioned together in a discussion of HR outsourcing. While they provide similar services, they are not the same. It’s important to understand how each one functions so that you can partner with a provider that offers the service that best suits your needs.
A PEO and EOR are both third-party organizations that provide HR services to employees of a client company. These services cover many different tasks, including payroll, tax, legal compliance, etc.
However, an EOR can also legally hire employees on behalf of the client company. As a result, an EOR is officially responsible for all the liabilities of recruiting and employing workers.
Another difference is how a contract is made between parties. In a PEO agreement, the contract is made between the client company and the employee. In an EOR agreement, however, the contract is directed by the client company but is officially between the EOR and the employee.
While both verbal and written contracts are valid, employment contracts are typically made in writing to avoid problems later. Contracts should be in Arabic and any compensation amounts should be in the local currency of the Jordanian dinar.
The current minimum wage in Jordan is JD260 per month.
Probation periods are 3 months or 90 days, maximum.
The termination notice period is 1 month. Severance pay is calculated at 1 month’s wages for each year of service.
Weekly work hours in Jordan can go up to 48 hours over 6 days. Any work hours beyond this are counted as overtime.
Overtime pay is 1.25 times normal wages and 1.5 times if the overtime work is on a weekend, rest day, or public holiday.

There are at least 8 public holidays each year in Jordan. Some groups of workers must be allowed to celebrate certain important religious or cultural holidays in addition.

After 5 years of continuous employment, annual leave is increased to 21 days.
Unused annual leave can be carried over to the next year if agreed upon with the employer.
The annual sick leave allowance for employees is 14 days at full pay.
If the employee is hospitalized, sick leave can be extended by another 14 days at full pay, or at half pay if hospitalization is not required but a medical report is provided.
Employees need to provide a statement from the doctor to receive sick leave reimbursement from their social security fund.

No, it is necessary to use a local entity abroad to comply with each country labor law.
Foreign companies can either set up a local entity in each country or use the services a local PEO (Professional Employment Organization) to hire the staff on-site directly.
The employer of record is the legal entity liable for the staff employed in a specific country. In practice, a foreign company can either open a subsidiary to become the employer of record of its abroad employees or use a PEO to act as the employer of record.
In general, 1-month is necessary to have an employee based out abroad using an existing PEO as the employe of record. When incorporating a new subsidiary to be the employer of record, the delay varies from 4-12 months.
