Payable under Article 32
The gratuity is paid whatever the reason the service ended, resignation and dismissal included, to a worker who isn't covered by social security.
Legal basis: Jordan Labour Law No. 8 of 1996, Article 32. Rules as of 2026-10-06
Article 32 of the Labour Law gives a worker an end-of-service gratuity of a month's last wage for each year of actual service, whatever the reason the service ends: resignation, dismissal, including dismissal without notice under Article 28, or the end of a fixed-term contract.
It applies only to workers who aren't covered by the Social Security Law, so for a covered worker Article 32 pays nothing. An employment contract may still grant a gratuity, and the calculator shows what the Article 32 formula comes to.
The gratuity is worked out on the last monthly wage. Article 2 defines the wage as everything the worker earns for the work, in cash or in kind, together with the other entitlements the law, the contract or settled practice provides for, except overtime pay. Fixed allowances, such as transport or housing, generally form part of the wage (Article 2), so the figure to use is the total monthly wage, not the basic salary alone.
Service runs from the first day to the last working day, both counted in full. A part year earns its share, counted in days: 184 days of service are 0.5041 of a year, and earn that share of a month's wage.
Days that weren't service, unpaid leave for example, are taken off. From 1 April 2016 to 31 March 2026 with 45 unpaid days, the calculator counts 3,607 days of service.
Article 32 doesn't apply to workers covered by the Social Security Law No. 1 of 2014, so the calculator shows the gratuity as not payable for them. It still shows what the Article 32 formula comes to, because an employment contract may grant a gratuity.
1 March 2025 to 31 August 2025. Not covered by social security, less than a year of service.
1 April 2016 to 31 March 2026. Not covered by social security, with unpaid leave taken off the service.
1 September 2018 to 31 August 2026. Covered by social security: nothing under Article 32, and what the Article 32 formula comes to.
Not payable under Article 32. Article 32 doesn't apply to a worker covered by the Social Security Law. An employment contract may still grant a gratuity. The Article 32 formula comes to 7,204.932 JOD.
