Frequently Asked Questions – Labor Law in Israel

What are my rights if I am dismissed from my job?

If you have worked for an employer for at least one year, you are generally entitled to severance pay equal to one monthly salary per year of employment. You may also be entitled to notice pay and other benefits depending on your contract and circumstances.

Can my employer reduce my salary without my consent?

Generally no. An employer cannot unilaterally reduce your salary. Any reduction requires your informed consent. If your salary was reduced without agreement, you may have a legal claim for the difference.

What is the statute of limitations for labor claims in Israel?

Most wage and employment claims in Israel have a 7-year statute of limitations, though some claims may have shorter periods. It is important to act quickly to preserve your rights.

Am I entitled to severance pay if I resigned?

In most cases, resignation does not entitle you to severance pay. However, there are exceptions such as constructive dismissal, where intolerable working conditions effectively forced you to resign.
