National Insurance Law (Amendment – Preferred Employment in Communities Bordering the Southern and Northern Borders) (Temporary Provision) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק הביטוח הלאומי (תיקון - עבודה מועדפת ביישובי עוטף הגבול הדרומי והצפוני) (הוראת שעה)

TL;DRA bill to grant preferred-work grants to workers in businesses within 10 kilometers of the southern and northern borders, as a temporary provision.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill amends the National Insurance Law to add work at workplaces located within up to 10 kilometers of the Gaza fence or the northern border fence to the list of jobs that entitle a worker to a preferred-work grant. The grant will apply to workers who started work during the period of the temporary provision. The minister and the Knesset's Labor and Welfare Committee will be able to extend the period of the temporary provision for additional periods as long as a special situation on the home front is in force, and will be able to limit the extension to workplaces in some of the areas specified.
