💰 In Israel, health benefits for hired employees have been increased.

In the private sector, the cost of one day has increased:

was — 418 ₪

became — 451,5 ₪

The new tariff applies to payments for the “year of recovery 2026” - this is the period from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026.

If your employer has already paid you a monthly wage for this period at the old rate, he must pay the difference:

33,5 ₪ for each due day.

The number of days depends on the length of service with the current employer, the duration of work in the pay period and the size of the rate.

For example, a full-time employee after completing the first year of work is entitled to 5 days:

2 257,5 ₪ gross instead of 2 090 ₪.

The additional payment will be 167,5 ₪ gross.

The right to דמי הבראה arises after 12 months of work for one employer ‼️

Usually the payment appears as a separate line in one of the summer salary sheets.

The employer can also distribute it by month if this is provided for by the working conditions and each month is reflected in a separate line.
