living in Israel, the only true "democrapic" country in the world, many people feel that there is so much that could be made better. If only the authorities and government offices would actually be service-oriented. If only the government would be attentive to the people’s needs and desires and actually stick to their campaign issues that got them there in the first place. The list really goes on and on. I have heard many people say "why can’t they do things like in the states" ?<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

What is a democrapic country you ask ? A  democrapic country is a country that thinks it’s democratic but the Bolshevik and bureaucratic crap is more dominant, while the democratic part is very selective and only when it suits the ruling party.<\/font><\/p>\n

I can’t vouch for the other issues, but in regard to employee’s rights and labor laws, Israel has passed the USA along time ago. The USA could actually learn a thing or two from Israel in this regard.<\/font> <\/p>\n

When employees are interviewed they have rights: there are questions that potential employers cannot ask: personal, sexual preferences, political views are all off limits. <\/font><\/p>\n

When they are hired, there are procedures, embedded in labor laws, as to proper notification to the employee, what needs to be included in this letter, what is mandatory payment and what needs to show up on the payslip. <\/font><\/p>\n

When employees are terminated, or resign, they also have rights, regardless of the reason of resignation or termination.<\/font><\/p>\n

Apparently, in the USA there are many loopholes that allow employers to "erase" payments due to employees, on a whim. Here are a few examples that I came across recently:<\/font><\/p>\n

An employee resigns to take on another position. If they do not give advance notice, the employer can choose to not pay out the remaining non utilized vacation days that the employee has accrued ! This is ludicrous by Israeli standards. This is totally legal and there is nothing the employee can do about it.<\/font><\/p>\n

In Israel, an employee can be fired for stealing from the employer, but he would still be entitled to a payout of his remaining vacation days.<\/font><\/p>\n

The same is true regarding advance notice. If an employee receives a monthly rate and has tenure of at least one year, he is liable to give 30 days advance notice or have the equivalent deducted from the final payment calculation. The same applies to the employer, he must give the employee 30 days notice (in the same scenario) or pay out the equivalent.<\/font><\/p>\n

note: for hourly-rate employees it depends on their tenure (1 day for each full month worked for the first 6 months, and 2 1\/2 days for each additional month)<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n
