Equal Employment Opportunities Law (Amendment – Extension of the Limitation Period) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק שוויון ההזדמנויות בעבודה (תיקון - הארכת תקופת ההתיישנות)

TL;DRA proposal to extend the limitation period for workplace discrimination claims from three years to five years.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal amends the Equal Employment Opportunities Law (5748-1988) by extending the deadline by which an employee or job candidate can file a claim against an employer for this type of discrimination. The limitation period will change from 3 years to 5 years from the day the cause of the discrimination arose. The proposal justifies the extension by arguing that three years are not enough to process the experience of covert discrimination and identify it.
