Subject
The summary concerns a cook employed as a day laborer at the University of Jordan on a daily wage who remained in that status until termination and whose request to change his job description to be classified among university staff subject to its law and regulations was denied.
Summary
Because the claimant's job description was not amended and he continued as a day laborer outside the categories covered by the university's law and regulations, those university provisions do not apply; instead, the Labor Law governs his situation. The conditions for entitlement under the award and savings fund system were not met, and his claim for an end-of-service award was dismissed.
Practical significance
The case illustrates that occupational classification determines the applicable legal framework and can affect entitlement to institutional benefits such as end-of-service awards.
