Ammon News - The current statutory minimum wage of JD260 (about $366) will remain unchanged for 2023 and 2024, according to a decision announced Thursday by a public-private labor committee.

A review of the minimum wage will be conducted in 2025, and adjustments will be made to account for inflation between 2022 and 2024, the Trilateral Labor Affairs Committee announced.

The committee is made up of the government (represented by the Ministry of Labor), employers (represented by the Jordan Chambers of Commerce and Industry), and employees (represented by professional unions).

The committee reaffirmed its commitment to striking a balance between, on the one hand, enhancing the quality of life for workers and, on the other, maintaining business viability across various sectors in light of fierce competition in regional and global markets.
