What Is Labor Law?

When Do You Need labor law attorney?

When it comes to entities, unions, and companies, there is always a high chance of needing our Labor Lawer. Hereafter are some examples:
Internal Order

Labor Law requires businesses with more than 10 employees to create an internal law that organizes work and explains policies and penalties applicable within it.The company’s internal law must be drafted legally by a specialized labor lawyer to ensure that it does not conflict with the Jordanian Labor Law and that is authentified by the Ministry of Labor.

Wages Cut

The employer has the right to deduct from the worker’s wages in the event of material damage or loss of any of the property of the company. The employer has the right to deduct the value of the prejudice or ask for repair. He is also entitled to claim damage compensation in the competent courts.

Disciplinary Proceedings

An employer cannot impose any penalty not stated in Labor Law. There are also many conditions that must be taken into account when imposing any disciplinary action, such as not imposing a fine of more than 3 working days’ pay per month. In order to avoid committing a violation of the Labor Law, companies must resort to a labor lawyer to help them impose appropriate legal penalties.

Extra Hours

The employer shall have the right to ask his employees to work extra hours exceeding the daily or weekly working hours stated for in the Labor Code, only after understanding that additional pay shall be paid for overtime. This clause shall also be subject to certain conditions, such as the reason for the overtime work, whether it is among the tasks the owner performs are inventory work, budget preparation, preventing losses from transports, imports, and so on. Here, companies may need to consult a labor attorney to avoid any irregularity resulting in workers’ filing a lawsuit.

Dismissal Without Notice

The employer has the right to dismiss the worker without notice in certain cases, such as falsifying any documents or paper, violating the terms of the employment contract or the company’s rules of procedure, disclosing to the company’s secrets, causing significant material damage or committing immoral work at the workplace, etc. All are sufficient grounds for dismissing the worker without notice. However, labor lawyer must be engaged to establish these incidents and take appropriate legal action to prevent the company from committing any legal offense.

Labor Injuries

If an employee is injured while working and requires medical attention, the employer must pay for all associated costs as well as provide additional compensation to the employee. Here, some employees may exploit the employer and claim more than they require. That’s why companies should hire a labor lawyer to take the necessary legal action in the case of work injuries.

Yearly Leaves

The worker and his employer may agree upon deferring the employee’s annual leave for the following year and in this case, unless the annual leave is claimed in that year, the employee forfeits his right to it. The employer is also entitled to decide on the schedule and use of the annual leave for each worker, taking into account the worker’s rights. However, if your employer denies your request for annual leave, they could be violating the Labor Law. You should consult a labor attorney to get appropriate legal advice.

Suspension or Bankruptcy

You may experience obstacles at work that force you to temporarily or permanently suspend your business or you may even be bankrupt. In such cases, you will have to pay your workers’ financial dues, legally declare you bankrupt, initiate liquidation proceedings to liquidate assets, claim debts, and many other legal procedures that require you to appoint a labor attorney who is familiar with all the legal procedures that follow you and who is able to avoid cases that may be brought against you.
