know what your rights are by law and how to stand up for them firmly and proudly. many employees, especially olim are tkaen advantage of by employers becuase they aren’t aware what benefits and salary they are entitled to by Law, statute or regulation.

infrigement on these by an employer is a serious crime which is punishable by heavy fine and in serious and repititous cases by imprisonement. 

many employees do not feel it’s worth their while because they are afraid to loose their job or they do not know how to read the payslip properly.

a few basics:

every employee upon acceptance to work must receive from the employer a written letter (which should be on company paper) stating the date, the employee’s name, Israeli ID #, address and job title.

it should state the days and hours of work, the address where the employee will work (if different than the address on the employer’s stationary letterhead), the pay, including whether it’s an hourly rate, daily or monthly. it should state all of the benefits the employee is entitled to (including future benefits), incentives, periodic bonuses. who the employee reports to and what his job responsibilities are. if the job is a project or temp position this needs to be stated as well.

this is a Labor Law and not a recomendation. it has nothing to do with the type of job nor with the amount of employees who work for the employer.
