Mafraq, July 22 (Petra) -- Inspection teams from the Ministry of Labor have conducted 1,687 field visits across Mafraq Governorate since the beginning of the year, issuing 167 citations to non-compliant businesses and serving 430 warnings, official figures showed on Wednesday.
Ministry of Labor spokesperson Mohammad Al-Zyoud told the Jordan News Agency (Petra) that the Mafraq Labor Directorate has received 77 labor complaints so far this year, covering unpaid wages, employment suspensions, overtime disputes, and leave entitlements.
Al-Zyoud said all grievances were reviewed and handled in accordance with established legal procedures to ensure fair outcomes for both employers and workers.
The ministry receives complaints electronically via its "Hemayeh" (Protection) platform, where each case is evaluated before officials reach out to both parties to attempt an amicable settlement, Al-Zyoud noted. If a settlement cannot be reached, the necessary legal measures are taken.
