Tlush (תלוש שכר) - a payslip that an employer in Israel is required to issue along with salary. It shows how many hours you were credited for, at what rate, and what was deducted. This is the main document if you have to argue about money.
What lines are usually there
| In Hebrew | What is it |
|---|---|
| שעות / ימי עבודה | Hours and days that were counted for you |
| שכר יסוד / תעריף | Basic salary or hourly rate |
| שעות נוספות 125% / 150% | Overtime: the first two hours overtime are paid at 125%, then at 150% |
| ברוטו | Accrued before deductions |
| מס הכנסה | Income tax |
| ביטוח לאומי / מס בריאות | National Insurance and Health Tax |
| פנסיה | Pension contributions |
| ניכויים | Other deductions - for example, for housing |
| נטו | Amount to be paid in hand |
What to check every month
- Clock. Compare with your accounting - record your arrival and departure every day. We described how to do this in the article accounting working hours.
- The rate. Does it match the one that was agreed upon.
- Overtime. If you work more than normal, and the lines 125% and 150% are empty, this is a question for the employer.
- Deductions. Especially for housing: the amount must match the agreement.
- Net. Does it coincide with what actually came to the account or was issued.
Is there no fire at all? This is an alarming sign: it’s difficult without a payslip
prove how much you are owed. Save your hours, correspondence and photo schedules.
