Jordan's Labor Law allows employers to lay off employees if economic or technical circumstances necessitate reorganization. This is established in Article 84 of the Labor Law which states that an employer may lay off employees in cases of "economic, technical, or structural conditions" that require the reorganization of the company or establishment. However, the law also requires employers to consult with the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs before carrying out any layoffs.
