Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill refers to self-employed working women in Israel and states that a self-employed woman working in her occupation will not be considered self-employed for the purposes of a certain section, if the scope of her work does not exceed 80 hours a month, she has worked in this occupation for at least 12 consecutive months, and the business she owns is a micro or small business. In this way, the bill allows self-employed women to continue working part-time during the maternity and parenthood period, without needing approval from the National Insurance Institute, without losing their eligibility for maternity allowance.
