Jordan Public Holiday Observance Rules
1. General Observance
- Public holidays in Jordan are determined by government decrees and are published in the official holiday calendar.
- The holiday calendar includes both national holidays (e.g., Independence Day) and religious holidays (e.g., Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha).
2. Weekend Context in Jordan
- The official weekend in Jordan is Friday and Saturday, while Sunday through Thursday are regular working days.
3. When a Public Holiday Falls on a Weekend
- If a public holiday falls on a Friday or Saturday, it is generally observed on that day.
- There is no automatic substitution for holidays falling on a weekend.
- The government may announce a substitute day off for certain holidays, but this is determined on a case-by-case basis.
4. Bridge Holidays (Long Weekends)
- Jordan does not have an automatic statutory system for creating bridge holidays.
- However, in some cases, the government may declare an additional day off to extend public holidays, particularly for Eid celebrations.
5. Additional Notes
- Employers must comply with the official holiday calendar published by the Jordanian government.
- Employees required to work on a public holiday are entitled to premium pay or compensatory time off as mandated by Jordanian labor law.
- For the most up-to-date and accurate details, always consult the latest official holiday calendar and any government announcements.
