Daily, weekly, and monthly workers

In recent years, some families in Jordan have started relying on domestic workers on an hourly or monthly basis as a flexible solution for cleaning tasks or childcare. However, it is important to understand that this system is considered illegal according to the instructions of the Jordanian Ministry of Labor.

What is the hourly or temporary domestic worker system?

The “hourly or monthly domestic worker” system refers to employing a worker without a permanent legal residency under a sponsor, in exchange for a weekly, daily, or monthly wage. This is often done through intermediaries or unlicensed offices.

In most cases, the employment relationship is not officially documented, which exposes both parties to legal risks.

Why is this system illegal in Jordan?

According to Jordanian labor law:

  1. The worker must be under a clear legal sponsorship in the name of the employer
  2. A domestic worker is not allowed to work for more than one household
  3. Hourly or part-time domestic worker systems are not legally permitted

Any undocumented employment is considered a violation that may expose the sponsor to financial and legal penalties.
