Israel Boosts Vacation Pay to NIS 451.5 Per Day
The Israeli Ministry of Labor has issued a new directive to increase daily vacation pay (dmei hvra'ah) to NIS 451.5, effective next month. This expansion order, signed by the Minister of Labor, Yitzhak Cohen, will apply to all employees covered by collective agreements.
The increase represents a significant rise from the current rate of NIS 386 per day. The directive aims to improve the financial benefits for workers, particularly during their time off. The Ministry of Labor stated that this measure is part of ongoing efforts to enhance employee welfare and compensation standards across various sectors in Israel.
This update follows recent discussions and negotiations between labor unions and employers regarding the cost of living and the adequacy of current vacation pay rates. The decision to implement the increase reflects the government's commitment to supporting workers and ensuring fair compensation.
