The Jerusalem Regional Labor Court approved a class-action lawsuit on Tuesday against the Rami Levy supermarket chain. The suit, filed by two former employees, alleges that the company illegally deducts money from cashiers' salaries for till shortages or requires them to cover the difference from their own pockets. The court's decision allows the case to proceed on behalf of all current and former cashiers at the chain.
Rami Levy argued that the deductions were legal and made with employee consent. However, the court accepted the former employees' request to proceed, finding their claim that the practice violates the Wage Protection Law to be valid. Earlier this year, a similar case resulted in an indictment against the Victory supermarket chain for collecting shortages from cashiers.
