Official summary of the law (Knesset)

Two main changes were made in the Amendment to the Hours of Work and Rest Law, 1951: 1. Instead of the authority of the Minister of Labor, Welfare and Social Services to grant a general permit for overtime work by virtue of a declaration of a state of emergency in the State of Israel, the Minister was authorized to grant general permits for overtime work when a special situation on the home front has been declared, during a reserve duty call-up by special order, and during a mass disaster event. In addition, the Minister was authorized to grant a general permit for overtime work for reasons related to the needs of the economy, however it was determined that existing permits granted by virtue of the declaration of a state of emergency would remain in effect until a general permit is granted for reasons related to the needs of the economy. It was also determined that the Minister may grant a permit for special reasons due to the needs of a particular workplace, a particular branch of work, or a particular type of work. 2. It was determined that in a plant operating in shifts, it will be possible to work night work one week out of every two weeks, whereas before the Amendment it was possible to work night work only one week out of every three weeks.
