AMMAN — The Labour Ministry’s inspection teams have closed restaurants in the capital for violating labour laws by employing unlicensed workers, the ministry announced Wednesday.
The teams sealed these restaurants with red wax after they were warned, fined and given a grace period, during which they did not rectify their status.
The ministry warned against hiring guest workers who do not have valid work permits or work in jobs listed only for Jordanians.
The ministry also urged institutions to abide by the allowed quota of guest worker recruitment.
