Israel, Arabic Isrāʾīl, officially the State of Israel or Hebrew Medinat Yisraʾel, is a country in the Middle East, located at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea. Jerusalem is the seat of government and the proclaimed capital, although the latter status has not received wide international recognition. Jews constitute about three-fourths of the total population of Israel. Almost all the rest are Palestinian Arabs, of whom most (roughly three-fourths) are Muslim; the remaining Arabs are Christians and Druze.

A working day should not exceed eight working hours. A working week should not exceed 42 working hours. The working day should not exceed seven working hours in night work on the day preceding the weekly rest and on the day preceding a festival on which an employee is not employed, whether by law or by agreement or custom.
The total overtime of the employee during the whole week must not exceed 16 hours, and in any case, an employee may not be employed for more than 12 hours a day (including overtime). As a rule, it is forbidden to make an employee work overtime without a permit from the Minister of Labor. An employer should pay an employee who is employed for over-time hours a wage not less than 1¼ times the ordinary wage for the first two over-time hours in any one day, and not less than 1½ times the ordinary wage for all subsequent over-time hours.
Labor legislation does not regulate trial periods. Most collective agreements have trial periods ranging from six months to three years. The most common length of trial periods in collective agreements is six-24 months.
Employers have the power to extend trial periods under certain circumstances. However, even dismissals within the trial period must be fair and just and on a basis of reasonable discretion by the employer. This interpretation is an outcome of the Labor Courts’ decisions.
The termination notice periods depend on length of employment service as follows:
Employment Service | Notice for Monthly Salaried Workers | Notice for Daily or Hourly Workers |
Less than 6 months | 1 day per month of service | 1 day per month of service |
6 to 12 months | 6 days plus 2.5 days per month of service beyond 6 months | 1 day per month of service |
More than 1 year | 1 month |
