‘Syrians only allowed to work in professions open to guest workers’

AMMAN — Issuing work permits for Syrian workers is limited to professions that are open for guest workers only and within the allowed ratio, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, quoted Labour Ministry Spokesperson Mohammad Khatib as saying.

He said that hundreds of permits were given this year to Syrian workers who met the conditions of working without violating the Labour Law. The ministry’s inspection teams have started making the necessary plans to track violating institutions and companies and deal with them in accordance with the law, Khatib added.
