Once you have selected the person you want to employ in Jordan, EmployMENA provides the local employment structure and administers the employment for you.
Under the EOR model, Business Alliance, through EmployMENA, is the local legal employer and handles the employer responsibilities that come with the service: employment contracting, payroll administration, employment administration, applicable statutory employer processes such as tax and Social Security, onboarding and offboarding, employee records, local coordination and workforce support within the agreed scope.

PRICING
How EOR Pricing Works in Jordan
EOR pricing in Jordan is set per engagement, not from a fixed price list. EmployMENA prepares a quote from your requirement, and the price depends on the factors listed here.
WHAT THE PRICE DEPENDS ON
- Number of employees
- Compensation structure
- Employee category and profile
- Onboarding and employment complexity
- Additional workforce management
- Overall service scope
WHAT YOUR QUOTE MAKES CLEAR
Employee compensation
The salary and pay agreed for the employee.

EOR VS RECRUITMENT
How Is EOR Different From Recruitment?
Recruitment
Finds and assesses the right person for your role.
EOR
Employs the person you have selected, in Jordan, and administers payroll and employment.
Recruit & Employ
Combines both: the search, then employment of the person you choose, through one partner.
Recruitment and Recruit & Employ are separate services. Nearshoring, building a team in Jordan to serve a business based elsewhere, is a way of buying rather than a separate service, and can be delivered through Recruitment and EOR together; see Staffing & Nearshoring in Jordan. To compare every service side by side, see Compare Services, or read EOR vs a recruitment agency.

How does payroll work through an EOR?
Payroll is administered as part of the agreed employment structure, on a regular cycle alongside the related employment administration. The specifics depend on the employment circumstances.
How much does an EOR in Jordan cost?
EOR pricing in Jordan is set per engagement. It depends on the number of employees, the compensation structure, the employee profile, onboarding and employment complexity, any additional workforce management and the service scope. Your quote shows employee compensation, statutory employer costs, the EmployMENA service fee and any agreed additional services. Request an EOR quote to receive pricing for your situation.
How long does it take to employ someone through an EOR in Jordan?
Timing depends on factors such as candidate documentation, employment requirements, contract preparation and any required registrations. Get in touch and we will walk you through what to expect for your case.
Does an EOR arrangement include employee benefits?
Applicable employee benefits and entitlements are considered as part of the employment structure. We can walk you through what applies to your situation.
Can I later move from an EOR arrangement to my own local entity?
This is something companies sometimes consider as they grow. Talk to us about your longer-term plans in Jordan and we can discuss the options.
Can employees we already have in Jordan move to an EOR?
Yes. This is a supported use case. How it is done depends on the employee’s current status, the existing contractual arrangements and any employment transition steps that are required, so it is reviewed case by case.
Can EmployMENA support non-Jordanian employees in Jordan?
Potentially, yes, depending on the case and the applicable Jordanian requirements. Work permits and related approvals are decided by the relevant authorities, including the Ministry of Labour, so approval cannot be guaranteed.
What happens if employment ends?
Within the agreed scope, the EOR supports the offboarding and end-of-employment process. The statutory and contractual obligations that apply depend on the employment situation and applicable law, including Jordan’s Labour Law. This is general information, not legal advice for a specific case.
