Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the National Insurance Law so that a self-employed woman in a micro or small business will not be considered as engaged in her occupation if she worked up to 40 hours a month, provided she has engaged in this occupation for at least 12 consecutive months. In this way, self-employed women will be able to keep working during the maternity and parenthood period without losing their eligibility for maternity pay, and without needing to stop their businesses.
