• Initiating the Law for Substitution Annuities: A worker is guaranteed a salary that is no less than the minimum wage by the National Insurance Institute in cases of work accidents, army reserves, unemployment, or employer bankruptcy.
• Amending the Minimum Wage Law: The employer carries the responsibility of paying minimum wage to his/her workers based on all hours worked. This amendment took place in the framework of the Minimum Wage Forum.
• Initiating the Responsibility of the Body Ordering the Service Law: This initiative is currently being discussed in the Labor and Welfare Committee. Awareness and urgency of the matter in the labor market has led to a directive by the Ministry of Economy, previously known as the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor (MOITAL).
• Amending Section 24 of the Wage Protection Law: The amendment obligates employers to provide salary stubs with detailed and accurate information, as well as a printout of hours worked.
• Increasing Enforcement Law: Valid since 2012, this law was derived from the Responsibility of the Body Ordering the Service Law. The law led to an extension of MOITAL’s supervision over contract employers and those ordering the services of contract workers. The law contributed to putting the poor state of Israeli contract workers on the public agenda. More importantly, MOITAL shed light on the consequences of breaking these laws through various publications targeted at employers. This piece of legislation and the full support of MOITAL to implement the law are both a welcomed result of Kav LaOved’s hard work and many activities exposing the phenomenon of exploitation of contract workers.
