National Insurance Law (Amendment – Preferred Employment in the Restaurant Industry) Bill

What does the bill do?

The bill amends Schedule H of the National Insurance Law to define work in the fields of waiting tables, cooking, maintenance and dishwashing in the restaurant industry as preferred work. The restaurant industry is defined as a business of the "eating establishment" type under the Business Licensing Law. The bill aims to apply existing incentives in the National Insurance Law for preferred work in order to encourage young people to work in this sector, to promote the employment of discharged soldiers and to support the restaurant industry economically.
