Payroll Cycle
The payroll cycle in Israel occurs on a monthly basis.
Employer Taxes
Employers in Israel are subject to specific tax and social security contribution rates as of the last review in February 2023. The corporate tax rate is 23%, while the standard rate for Value Added Tax (VAT) is 17%.
Overtime Pay
In Israel, the standard working hours for a five-day workweek, from Sunday to Thursday, is 48 hours. Employees are entitled to overtime pay for any additional hours worked beyond regular working hours. The calculation for overtime pay is as follows:
The payment is calculated at 125.00% of the regular wage for the first two overtime hours.
Any additional work hours during the weekly rest day are calculated at 150.00% of the regular wage.
Some companies may choose to provide a global monthly amount as compensation for overtime pay instead of calculating it based on specific hours worked.
Paid Leave
In Israel, employees are entitled to mandatory annual leave of 16 days.
Sick Leave
In Israel, employees accrue 1.5 days of paid sick leave for each month worked, with a maximum accumulation of 90 days. The entitlement to sick leave begins on the second day of absence, as the first day is unpaid. During the second and third days of sick leave, employees are paid 50% of their usual wages. Starting on the fourth day, employees receive their full pay. Employees must provide a medical certificate to validate their sick leave.
Public and Provincial Holidays
Notice Period
In Israel, the notice period for employees is determined based on the number of years they have been employed. The notice periods are as follows:
- In the 1st year of employment, employees are required to provide 1 day of notice for every month worked.
- In the 2nd year of employment, the notice period increases to 14 days.
- In the 3rd year of employment, employees must provide a notice period of 21 days.
- After completing three years of employment, the notice period extends to 1 month.
13th Month Bonus
In Israel, a 13th month pay is not mandatory but is commonly provided by employers as an additional benefit to their employees.
Setting up a separate business entity in every location where you plan to hire employees or a team is time-consuming and incurs high legal fees.
At the same time, navigating local labor laws and adhering to employee expectations can be a complex and challenging task, as is finding accurate and up-to-date employment information for all your potential hiring locations. Not to mention that tracking invoices and managing employee contracts through email and spreadsheets is messy and error-prone.
Compliance is critical in this context, and we must ensure that we follow local guidelines, particularly regarding taxes and legalities.
