Submitted by Moshe on Tue, 23/11/2010 – 00:12
The Administration of order and enforcement of labor laws takes a lot of action in implementing the directives of the labor laws in the State of Israel. The Labor laws, whom the administration has been trusted with enforcing, are defined as protective laws, that make up the legal infrastructure of the Israeli employment market. the purpose of these laws is to set a minimum Raff and to determine basic social rights for employees. These rights are expressed in setting employment terms for employees, that come to ensure a person’s honor, his ability to self fulfillment, equality, division of justice and more. A good portion of these laws have considerable financial significance and they increase the minimum wage to be paid to an employee, with aim to ensure a relatively appropriate standard of living in exchange for his work.
The Administration, as both the professional and authorized agent, coordinates under it’s auspices the enforcement of 19 labor laws, and locating violators and minimizing the detrimental treatment of salaried employees in the lower pay scales.
Goals:
1) Implementation of labor laws via efficient and effective mechanisms of
licensing and enforcement.
2) Creating and establishing practical basis for cooperation with internal and
external enforcement partners.
3) Intensifying both employer and employee awareness to directives of labor
laws within the administration’s responsibility.
The administration’s actions, both criminal and administrative are accompanied, guided and handled by the legal bureau of the Ministry of Industry, Trade & Labor.
Please note that while all complaints are followed through, a complaint may not necessarily solve your own personal issue with the employer and further action by you may be needed.
