The summary below contains essential and practical information
relating to employment relations and labour law in Israel. It is

information, when considering opening a business in Israel.
1. INTRODUCTION
Israeli labour law applies to all employees located in Israel,
whether Israeli or foreign (i.e. non-Israeli employees working in
Israel pursuant to a valid work visa), and is comprised of a set of
cogent statutory rules, regulations and case law. In addition,
there are general and special collective agreements and expansion
orders which apply to all or certain sectors of the labour market.
It should be noted that an employee cannot waive any minimum
rights, to which he or she is entitled under Israeli law.
