Your Basic Rights
Every worker in Israel is entitled to: a written employment contract, pension contributions from day one (mandatory after 6 months), travel allowance, and a payslip. The employer is obliged to provide safe working conditions, insurance against accidents, and compliance with minimum wage standards. These rights apply to everyone — citizens, immigrants, and foreign workers.
How to Check Conditions
Before starting work, ask for an employment contract and read carefully: payment rate (monthly or hourly), work schedule, overtime conditions, and payroll dates. Compare your payslip with actually worked hours every month. Check your pension contributions through the pension fund. If something doesn't match — record the discrepancy and contact your employer in writing.
Summary
Your basic rights are the foundation of your safety. Never work without a contract and a payslip.
