How does Teamed handle Jordanian hiring for you?
Teamed becomes your legal employer of record in Jordan for from $599 per employee per month, with zero FX mark-up in any currency.
Payroll, the contract, and the full Jordanian employment stack run on one platform.
Real HR and legal experts manage every Jordanian hire, from the first offer letter to the final settlement. An actual person, not a chatbot or a pooled queue, looks after your Jordan team alongside EOR, contractor onboarding, and entity payroll on one platform. There is no setup fee and no exit fee. Employer cost passes through at cost, itemised on every invoice.
A Jordanian contractor who converts to employment keeps their record. That same employee can graduate from EOR to your own Jordanian entity later, without re-onboarding. EOR is the right model for a first Jordanian hire, until it isn't. We tell you when that point arrives.
- You don't need a Jordanian company to hire in Jordan. Teamed becomes the legal employer through its vetted partner-entity network. Your hire starts on a compliant local contract while you stay focused on the work. Most guides bury this under pages of incorporation steps.
- Amman is the engine of Jordan's hiring market. The capital holds most of the country's ICT, finance, and shared-service roles, and most of its English-speaking graduates. If you're hiring remote talent in Jordan, you're usually hiring in Amman.
- Statutory pay and leave are set by local law, and they move. Minimum pay, social security, leave, notice, and severance all follow Jordan's Labour Law and its amendments. We confirm the current figures for your exact role before you sign. The guides below tell you what each one covers.

How much does it cost to hire an employee in Jordan in 2026?
Teamed's fee is one flat number per employee per month. Salary, employer contributions, and benefits pass through at cost on top.
Jordan sets its own statutory employer costs by law. We confirm the current figures for your role before you sign.
Your total cost in Jordan has two parts. The first is Teamed's flat EOR fee, with zero FX mark-up in any currency pairing. The second is the local employer cost, salary plus the statutory contributions Jordan sets in law. We pass that second part through at cost and itemise it on every invoice.
The statutory contributions and any minimum pay are set by Jordanian law and they change. We won't quote you a figure we haven't confirmed for your exact role and date. The cost breakdown guide walks through each line once your numbers are set.

Do you need a Jordanian entity to hire employees in Jordan?
No. An Employer of Record runs Jordanian payroll and contracts from day one.
Your own Jordanian entity makes sense later, once your headcount in Jordan grows.
Setting up a Jordanian company takes time and brings ongoing local filings. An Employer of Record is faster and cheaper while your headcount is small. Teamed hires through a vetted partner-entity in Jordan and runs the payroll, the contract, and the compliance from day one.
The point where your own entity becomes cheaper than EOR depends on how many people you employ in Jordan and what they earn. Most providers won't tell you when you've reached it. We do, and we help you move. You progress from contractor to EOR to your own Jordanian entity on one platform under Teamed's Graduation Model, with tenure preserved.

What benefits must you provide Jordanian employees in 2026?
Jordanian law sets the floor for paid leave, sick pay, parental leave, and social security.
These entitlements change over time. We confirm the current rules for your role before you hire.
Jordan's Labour Law and social security rules set the minimum benefits every employee receives. That covers paid annual leave, sick leave, maternity and paternity leave, and enrolment in the national social security scheme. You can offer more than the floor, never less.
Because these figures move with amendments and government decisions, we won't print a number here we haven't checked for your hire. We confirm the current entitlements for your exact role and start date. The benefits guide covers each one in plain terms.

What are payroll taxes in Jordan in 2026?
Jordan runs income tax through payroll and a national social security scheme with employer and employee shares.
The rates are set by law and reviewed over time. We confirm the current figures for your role.
Jordanian payroll carries income tax deducted at source and social security contributions split between employer and employee. Both follow Jordanian law, and both are reviewed by the authorities from time to time.
We won't quote a rate we haven't confirmed for your hire and pay period. Teamed runs the payroll in Jordanian dinar, makes the deductions, and remits them to the right authorities. The tax and payroll guide sets out how each part works.

How do you terminate an employee in Jordan?
Notice and end-of-service pay in Jordan are set by local law.
The exact amounts depend on the contract and length of service. We confirm them before you act.
Ending employment in Jordan follows the Labour Law. Written notice and any end-of-service entitlement are set by statute and shaped by the contract type and the employee's length of service.
Getting this wrong is costly, so we don't guess. Our team confirms the current notice and severance rules for the specific employee before anything is signed or paid. The termination guide runs the full process step by step.

What should you know before hiring in Jordan?
Two things catch new employers out. The first is that the hiring market is concentrated in Amman.
The second is that Jordan's statutory rules change, so a number you read last year may already be out of date.
Most of your candidates will be in Amman. The capital holds the bulk of Jordan's ICT, finance, and shared-service talent, and most of its English-speaking graduates. Plan your hiring and your salary benchmarks around that.
The rules move, so check before you commit. Minimum pay, social security, leave, notice, and severance all follow Jordanian law and its amendments. We confirm the current figures for your role and date before you make an offer. The hiring guide and the termination guide both cover the safe process.
