Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Severance Pay Law (Amendment No. 33), 2018, established with respect to manpower contractors in all fields, as well as service contractors in the cleaning and guarding and security sectors, that when the contractor is replaced, and the employee continues to work at the same workplace as an employee of the new contractor, that employee will be entitled to severance pay from the previous contractor even if the previous contractor offered that employee to continue working for him at another workplace. If the employee was not entitled to severance pay due to the length of his employment period until the change of contractors, he will not lose his right to severance pay calculated according to seniority at the workplace. In order to ensure that the provisions of this amendment are not interpreted in a way that harms the employee's rights, the Law also clarified that the amendment does not detract from the existing provision whereby an employee of a manpower contractor employed for nine months at a workplace becomes an employee of the actual employer. The amendment also clarified that entitlement to severance pay, as a rule, does not detract from other rights of the employee dependent on seniority, insofar as they exist, and that just as the provisions of the Severance Pay Law do not detract from employees' rights under any law, they also do not detract from their rights under other law, such as rights under an extension order.
