AMMAN — Labour Minister Nidal Katamine on Monday said construction companies can employ up to five guest workers, on condition that they hire at least three Jordanians.

In a letter sent to the Jordan Housing Developers Association (JHDA), Katamine noted that it is possible for guest workers with valid permits in this sector to move from one company to another when a project is completed.

The decision follows a recent meeting between the Labour Ministry and JHDA to regulate and organise work in this sector.
