Amman, July 2 (Petra) – Ministry of Labor expressed its “commitment”
to policies for regulating and controlling the Kingdom’s labor
market, amid attempts aimed to spread misinformation and false news
to derail its work for private interests.

The ministry denied accuracy of information circulating on some
social media platforms alleging service termination of several
employees and appointment of others.

In a statement issued Thursday, the ministry noted the target staff
were previously hired on a project-based basis and their services
were terminated at the beginning of 2024.

The ministry added that this termination process is governed by two
criteria, either the project’s completion or depletion of its
allocated funds, whichever comes first, adding that the enterprise in
question had been closed.

Regarding service purchase, the ministry stated it had contracted a
group of individuals to temporarily fill certain positions for a
limited period.

The ministry noted these vacancies were advertised under the
competitive recruitment procedure, in coordination with the Service
and Public Administration Commission.

“Exams and personal interviews were conducted, in accordance with the
Public Sector Human Resources System No. 33 of 2024 and its related
amendments and the instructions,” the ministry pointed out.
