Official summary of the law (Knesset)

An alternative arrangement was established for deduction from the deposit funds of foreign workers, according to which 25% of a foreign worker's deposit funds will be paid to him even if he leaves Israel after the end of the permitted period of his stay there, plus accrued profits and less management fees and taxes, provided he submitted a written request to the Commissioner to receive the funds as detailed in the law. The foreign worker will be entitled to receive the remaining 75% of the deposit funds if he leaves Israel no later than twelve months from the end of the period he was permitted to stay there, plus profits and less removal expenses, as well as less an amount at an increasing rate according to the period of delay in departure as detailed in the First Schedule 1B to the Foreign Workers Law, 1991 (hereinafter - the Law), and taxes. It was also determined that the Commissioner may, upon a foreign worker's request, decide to reduce the delay period charged against the foreign worker if the Commissioner found that the foreign worker was prevented from leaving Israel by the end of the period he was permitted to stay there under the provisions of the Entry into Israel Law or under additional circumstances specified in the law, provided that no more than three years have passed from the end of the period he was permitted to stay in Israel until the date his request was received at the Commissioner's offices. An appeal may be filed against the Commissioner's decision in accordance with the provisions of the law. It was also determined that the Population and Immigration Authority will enable a foreign worker to view at any time on its website or through digital means information regarding the deposit funds managed on his behalf, the manner of submitting a request to receive the deposit funds, and the validity of the foreign worker's visa and license. Additional applicability provisions were also established as detailed in the law.
