Life in the City - Working in the City

Looking for a job in Israel, make sure you protect your rights. Every employee is protected under the National Labor Law. If your rights are violated or your employer doesn't pay you on time, the various labor courts located in most cities will step in at your request and enforce your rights. I suggest you hire a lawyer to go to court. The telephone company prints an English yellow pages, let your fingers "do the walking". Otherwise call information, get the phone of the local Bar Association and they will get you a lawyer. It would be smart if you check with a lawyer and find out all the benefits you are entitled. Just like in America, there are two methods. One is if your employer is covered by a collective bargaining agreement. If that is the case, this will cover your wages, hours, and conditions of employment.

If your employment is not covered by an agreement, it will be covered by a private contract between you and your employer. Negotiate your own contract with the aid of a lawyer. Get it in writing and take your employer to Labor Court. In Israel people's rights are protected legally. Remember Is classified as a first world country.
