ZenHR
Modern Jordan-origin HR & payroll SaaS — SSC + income tax on-page
Market position
An Amman-HQ HR/payroll SaaS (founded 2016, venture-backed) — the most visible Jordan-origin HRMS, serving KSA, UAE, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq and Kuwait. The default modern pick for a Jordanian firm.
Jordan-specific note
The only payroll vendor that states Jordan SSC + income-tax handling verbatim on its own Jordan page ("100% compliant with Jordan Labor Law & SSC"), including end-of-service — the cleanest fit if you want confidence on local compliance.
Pros
- + Native Jordan SSC + income-tax + end-of-service, stated on its own page
- + Modern bilingual cloud UI + employee self-service
- + Integrates SAP/Dynamics/QuickBooks/Odoo/Xero
- + Well-funded with an Amman office
Cons
- − Quote-only pricing
- − Jordan is one of several markets it serves
- − A full HRMS may exceed a small contractor’s payroll-only need
- − SMB-to-enterprise positioning can cost more than a basic local tool
Typical Jordan pricing
Quote-only.
Why this matters for Jordan trades
The ISTD runs tax (16% GST, income tax) and the mandatory JoFotara e-invoicing clearance platform (live since 1 April 2025, all businesses, UBL 2.1 + QR, only cleared invoices deductible); JCCA working membership plus a contractor classification (Govt Works Regulation 71/1986) is the legal gate to bidding public works; Jordan Engineers Association (JEA) registration is mandatory to practice engineering; companies register at the Companies Control Department (CCD); and every employer must enrol in Social Security (SSC) from the first worker (~21.75% of the insured wage).
Jordanian construction & trades software selection is dominated by one force: the JoFotara national e-invoicing mandate, which is live and enforced — a centralized clearance model run by the Income & Sales Tax Department (ISTD), mandatory for all businesses with no threshold since Phase 2 on 1 April 2025, where only cleared invoices are tax-deductible and non-compliance bars you from public tenders. Add 16% General Sales Tax, mandatory Social Security (SSC) from the first employee, JCCA contractor classification gating public works, and a dinar pegged to the US dollar.
