AMMAN — The Ministry of Labour on Monday cautioned against obliging any workers or employees to work during Eid Al Adha holiday without overtime pay, in accordance with the regulations of the Labour Law.

The ministry said it would carry out inspection campaigns across the Kingdom, covering restaurants, stores and shopping centres during the Eid holiday to make sure that the regulations are complied with.

The ministry asked employees who are forced to work during the holiday for no payment to report to the nearest labour office, pledging to keep their identities undisclosed.
