Labor Law

Does an Israeli employer have to appoint a sexual harassment officer?

Yes, for employers with 25 or more employees. Under the Prevention of Sexual Harassment Law 5758-1998, any employer with 25 or more workers must appoint a harassment commissioner (memuneh) responsible for receiving complaints, investigating them within 7 business days, and recommending disciplinary action. The employer must also distribute a written workplace harassment policy to every employee.
