Bnei Brak Municipality Employs Hundreds Over Retirement Age, Costing Millions
An investigation by the Movement for Freedom of Information has revealed unusual employment practices at the Bnei Brak Municipality, with 219 employees over the age of 67. These employees collectively earn approximately NIS 38.6 million annually.
The data further indicates that 22 of these employees are over 70, eight are over 80, and three are over 90 years old. This situation has raised questions about the municipality's hiring and retirement policies.
In response to the findings, the Bnei Brak Municipality stated that the "vast majority of employees are not of retirement age." The municipality did not provide further details regarding the specific roles or necessity of employing individuals significantly past the standard retirement age.
