Annual Leave Law (Amendment No. 17) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק חופשה שנתית (תיקון מס' 17)

TL;DRA bill to add the memorial day of a relative to the list of days on which an employee can use annual leave.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill amends the Annual Leave Law by adding the memorial day of a relative (parents, spouse, children, brothers and sisters) to the list of days on which an employee may use one of the vacation days due to them. The amendment applies to relatives who are not fallen soldiers or victims of hostile acts, who are already listed in the existing law. The bill is meant to make it easier for employees to mark the memorial day of their relatives and to allow them to take part in private memorial and mourning ceremonies.
