Right to Weekly Rest
Workers in Israel have the right to weekly rest — from Friday evening to Saturday evening. Working during this period is paid at a minimum of 150%.
How to Count Shabbat Hours
It is important to look at the exact time Shabbat begins. Not all Friday hours are automatically Shabbat hours — the enhanced rate begins precisely when Shabbat starts, not from the beginning of the shift.
Example
Worked Friday from 13:00 to 19:00, Shabbat began at 15:00:
13:00–15:00 — regular work
15:00–19:00 — Shabbat work (+150%)
Overtime on Shabbat
If work on Shabbat exceeds the normal hours, the rate can be 175% and 200%.
When Shabbat work also exceeds the normal weekly hours, overtime pay rules may apply additionally. So for such shifts it is important to check not only whether you worked on a rest day, but also whether some hours became overtime.
Compensatory Rest
Another important point: working on Shabbat is not only a pay issue but also a question of the legality of working on a rest day. In some cases the worker is also entitled to compensatory rest.
Summary
Hours after Shabbat begins are paid at an enhanced rate. If overtime is also involved, the pay can be even higher.
