AMMAN The instructions for workplace nurseries alternatives of 2021, issued recently in the Official Gazette under paragraph B of Article 72 of Labour Law No. 8 of 1996 and its amendments, raise serious concerns as they fall short of details outlining the obligations of the employer, according to SADAQA, a non-profit organisation.
The instructions have been developed outside the context of the framework agreed upon between the concerned parties, who were consulted by a committee formed by the Labour Ministry in 2019, to develop the directives of Article 72, according to a SADAQA statement shared with The Jordan Times.
