Arbitrary Dismissal & End-of-Service in Jordan: Your Rights (2026)
By HAQQ Research · · 8 min read · mena
Jordan: Art. 32 indemnity vs Social Security coverage, arbitrary-dismissal compensation (Art. 25), notice (Art. 23), and filing via the Hemayeh platform.
In Jordan, statutory end-of-service indemnity (Art. 32, one month per year) applies only to workers NOT covered by the Social Security Corporation — and most private-sector workers now are covered, so their end-of-service runs through the SSC pension. Arbitrary dismissal (Art. 25) lets the court order reinstatement or compensation; the commonly applied current figure is half a month's wage per year with a two-month minimum (older translations cite 3–6 months — verify). Notice (Art. 23) is one month.
