About the law and the debate

Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Annual Leave Law sets the number of vacation days to which an employee is entitled, according to the employee's years of seniority at the workplace. Currently, an employee is entitled, during the first four years of employment with the employer, to 14 vacation days per year. When weekly rest days are deducted, the practical result is that employees who work 5 days a week are entitled to 10 vacation days in the first four years. The amendment to the law adds 2 vacation days for employees with up to 4 years of seniority, so that employees who work 5 days a week will be entitled to 12 vacation days per year, and employees who work 6 days a week will be entitled to 14 vacation days per year. In accordance with a collective agreement signed between employer organizations and the Histadrut, the addition will be made gradually: one vacation day will be added starting in July 2016, and the second day will be added starting in January 2017.
