Legal Protection for Worker’s Wages in Jordanian Legislation

Workers and their families rely on wages as their primary source of income, making it imperative for national legislation to regulate all wage-related aspects. The legal framework must cover the mechanism of wage collection, entitlement, and determining the amount. To delve into this topic, the study's researcher examined the Jordanian labor law, civil law, and corresponding laws of other countries. Legal protection for wages, and the nature of wages themselves, were the focus at the start of this study. Delving into all relevant legal texts and applying activated legal provisions in practice, challenges related to wages were explored. The adequacy of these laws in protecting wages and labor rights against employers was assessed, highlighting potential shortcomings.
