Labor Law
What overtime pay rate does Israel require?
Section 16 of the Hours of Work and Rest Law 5711-1951 mandates 125% of the hourly rate for each of the first two overtime hours per day. From the third overtime hour onwards, the rate rises to 150%. These are minimums — an employment contract or collective agreement can only improve on them, never reduce them.
