After the International day of Social Justice decided by the General Assembly of the United Nations in 2007 as a way to appreciate the values of the International Labour Organization (ILO) in order to encourage decent work, Jordanian experts in modern and digital technologies demanded the creation of a law to regulate flexible working.
Some of these experts mentioned that Jordan, in amending the Labour Law in 2019, set a definition for flexible work but without detailing many organizational aspects and the rights and duties required for both workers and employers including, for example, the number of working hours, wages, holidays, extra work hours, work orders, production tools, not to name others.
The experts have noticed an increase up to 48% in the rate of people in flexible working that belongs to the informal economy. They urged improving the conditions of these workers, especially after the increasing numbers of people in the sector since COVID-19, by enabling them access to social coverage and shifting to regulated economy.
