For UK and Irish buyers
What this means for a UK or Irish business
For UK and Irish businesses with people in Jordan, Global Kinect Ltd (Companies House 16852789) contracts as the UK supplier of payroll services. The management fee is supplied from a UK supplier under standard B2B place-of-supply rules; Jordan statutory pass-through is denominated in Jordanian dinars at the cycle rate.
- Production payroll data is hosted on Oracle Cloud's regional MENA estate, processed in scope of Jordan's Personal Data Protection Law.
- SSC contributions sit where UK National Insurance Contributions sit — a statutory-funded social protection scheme. Maps cleanly to UK GAAP cost categories.
- End-of-service indemnity sits where UK statutory severance sits — calculated by tenure under the Jordanian labour code, settled at exit.
- Bilingual (English + Arabic) contract requirements carry through to the payroll record where governance requires it.
- Management fee can be invoiced in sterling on request. We agree the invoicing structure during onboarding.
