Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק-יסוד: שכר נושאי משרה ברשויות השלטון (תיקוני חקיקה)
TL;DRA bill to introduce a uniform law setting the salaries of officeholders in the branches of government based on the President's salary, while transferring the authority to an external public committee.
Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill proposes enacting a new law regulating the salaries of officeholders in the three branches of government: the President, the Prime Minister, ministers, MKs, judges and other officeholders. The salary will be set as a certain percentage of the President's base salary (between 65% and 95% depending on the position). The public committee to be established for this purpose will be the one to set the base salary and additions, instead of separate decisions by the Knesset. This authority transfers salary-setting from the Knesset to an external body, although the Knesset will be able to continue setting non-monetary working conditions.
