The notice period prior to terminations in Jordan is generally one month.
Income tax for employees in Jordan is progressive, with rates between 5% and 30% depending on income level. Anybody earning over 200,000 dinars per year must pay an additional 1% national tax.
The corporate tax rate in Jordan is 20% for most companies, but there are different rates for specific types of businesses such as banks.

Setting up a benefits system for your employees in Jordan can be difficult to navigate, especially if you are unfamiliar with the country and its laws. If you want to tackle the setup independently, you can expect it to take several weeks and potentially cause delays to your expansion process.
At Horizons, we specialize in establishing and running Jordanian employee benefits systems. We’ll handle everything, using our experience to ensure you are ready to commence operations in Jordan quickly and efficiently.
With Horizons, you get quick service, transparent pricing, and expert support.
A Jordan PEO and a Jordan EOR are two types of companies which specialize in providing human resources services to businesses in Jordan.
The main difference between a Jordan PEO and a Jordan EOR is in the scope of their services.
Jordan PEOs provide a full range of HR services, including payroll, benefits administration, and employee recruiting—all under one roof as a co-employer. Engaging a Jordan PEO is essentially outsourcing your HR duties in Jordan.
Jordan EORs actually take over as the legal employer of your employees based abroad. Jordan EORs become responsible for labor compliance for your employees in Jordan.
At Horizons, we offer both PEO and EOR services in Jordan. Get in touch now and let us know what service you are seeking.
A PEO in Jordan can feasibly hire both local and foreign nationals to work in Jordan.
However, the ability of Horizons to sponsor your foreign national employee in Jordan may be limited due to visa quotas practiced in many countries.
Contact us with your requirements and our Global Mobility team with review the case and get back to you within 2 business days.
In most cases, Horizons’ Jordan PEO can hire & onboard your employee within 24 hours. The actual start date of the employee will depend on their notice period obligation to their previous employer as well as any relevant hiring rules in Jordan.
It is possible to get a work visa in Jordan. Horizons’ Global Mobility team is a dedicated team of work visa experts. They assess the details of each case to determine feasibility and costs before Horizons applies for the work visa on behalf of your employee. If the Global Mobility team determines that your case is feasible, the process is smooth and transparent. Visa spots in Jordan are limited, however—get started today to secure your employees’ visa spot.
