WEB DESK: Jordan’s Prime Minister Bisher Khasawneh approved a new law allowing public employees to take up a second job outside official working hours provided it does not affect their productivity and commitment to their official work, as per reports.
Khasawneh said his government decided on the law after an in-depth study on allowing public sector employees to work outside official working hours and “according to very transparent controls.”
He said that allowing public sector employees to have a second job “is an exchange of benefits and expertise,” and noted that there are public sector employees who have “the qualifications, experience and expertise to provide an academic addition if available or wish to lecture at universities or in a sector such as the information technology sector.”
