Israel's Minimum Wage Law Update
Hebrew: שכר מינימום בישראל
The Israel Minimum Wage Law
The Israel Minimum Wage Law was set up in 1987, and in brief it mandates the following:
- An employee of the age of eighteen years or over, employed in a full-time position, is entitled to receive a wage not less than the minimum-wage-per-month, the daily minimum wage or the hourly minimum wage, as the case may be.
- An employee employed in a part-time position is entitled to a partial minimum wage calculated in accordance with the part-time ration of his position.
- If an employee is absent from work, the minimum wage to which he is entitled, shall be reduced in proportion to the time of his absence. However, if he is entitled to receive payment for the time he is absent (under any law, contract of employment, collective agreement etc.) the payment shall be in accordance with the provisions of that agreement.
