Labor Law

How long do I have to file a workplace discrimination claim in Israel?

The general limitation period under Israeli law for labor claims is 7 years, but discrimination and harassment claims should be brought promptly. As a practical rule, file within 24 months of the discriminatory act or dismissal. For sexual harassment claims under the Prevention of Sexual Harassment Law, courts tend to be more forgiving about delay where the victim feared retaliation, but waiting more than 3 years carries real risk of reduced damages.
