Hiring in Jordan: Overview
Global Kinect runs Jordan payroll on one engine — SSC contributions, progressive income tax per tranche, and end-of-service under the Jordanian Labour Law. For employers consolidating Jordanian payroll off a fragmented process, Bureau gives you one submission in and one pack out, with the brackets and contribution rates held centrally so regulator changes are absorbed into the engine. Bureau and Bureau plus HRIS are live across Jordan today; Managed is planned as entity coverage extends. Non-Saudi MENA data is hosted on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure in Abu Dhabi.
Payroll routes for Jordan
Two delivery models for payroll. Add EOR when you don’t have an entity.
Employment law & employer costs
SSC (Social Security Corporation) contributions are calculated every cycle against the contributory wage.
Income tax is progressive, applied per tranche on the current schedule. The engine holds the brackets centrally so a regulator change is absorbed in days, not carried by your finance team.
End-of-service accrues under the Jordanian Labour Law and is settled at exit, held as a continuous liability per employee.
Foreign nationals require work permits, handled where immigration is in scope.
Bilingual (English and Arabic) contract requirements carry through to the payroll record where governance requires. Bureau and Bureau plus HRIS are live across Jordan today; Managed is planned as entity coverage extends.
