Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the Employment of Women Law and the National Insurance Law to add an option to extend the maternity and parenthood period by ten more weeks for an employee whose child is a toddler with a complex disability. During the extension period, the employee will be entitled to additional maternity pay, subject to rules the minister will set. The proposal reflects a need to supervise toddlers with complex disabilities who are not eligible for educational services at young ages like regular children, and to respond to the economic and physical burden on these families.
