Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal amends the Employment of Workers by Manpower Contractors Law in three main ways: first, it adds definitions of an interested party and a senior officeholder in the business, and authorizes the Minister of Labor to examine their criminal record when granting, suspending or revoking a license. Second, it changes the conditions for revoking a license to address insolvency and economic rehabilitation proceedings. Third, it toughens fines and penalties for violations of the law, allows imposing a double or additional fine for serious offenses, and applies to corporations that committed an offense.
