2026 Working Days Calendar for Jordan, Asia

⚖️ Legal Regulations

Jordan's labor regulations are governed by the Labor Law No. 8 of 1996 and its amendments. The standard legal work week is 48 hours over six days, but the common practice is a 40-45 hour week from Sunday to Thursday. Public holidays are mandated as paid days off for all employees, with specific provisions for overtime pay on holidays and weekends.

📰 News

No major legislative changes regarding public holidays or working hours for 2026 have been announced in the provided sources. The dates for Islamic holidays (Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Islamic New Year, Prophet's Birthday) are approximate and subject to official moon sighting announcements closer to the date, which may cause slight adjustments.

💡 Insights

The official weekend in Jordan is Friday and Saturday, aligning with the Islamic holy day. Work culture often involves a long midday break, especially in summer, with businesses reopening in the evening. When a public holiday falls on a Friday or Saturday, some employers may grant an additional compensatory day off on the preceding Thursday, though this is not a universal legal requirement.
