A pre-termination hearing is required before dismissal, in the private sector as well. A defective hearing may give rise to compensation for unlawful dismissal; reinstatement is ordered only rarely. Early preparation with a lawyer can change the outcome.
As a rule, an employee who has worked for one continuous year for the same employer or at the same workplace and is dismissed is entitled to severance pay. There are exceptions and grounds for dismissal that affect entitlement. A review of your employment circumstances will allow us to give you a precise answer.
Dismissal during pregnancy without approval from the Ministry of Labor is generally completely prohibited. An employee dismissed in this situation may seek cancellation of the dismissal and compensation. It is important to seek legal advice immediately upon receiving notice of dismissal.
Under the Discharged Soldiers (Reinstatement in Employment) Law, an employee may not be dismissed during reserve service, or within 30 days after service of more than two consecutive days, without a permit from the Ministry of Defence Employment Committee. Dismissal because of reserve service is void. Contact us to have the circumstances examined.
The Wage Protection Law sets an exact date for payment, and wages paid late are considered withheld wages that may give rise to late-payment compensation. Note that a claim for late-payment compensation is subject to an exceptionally short limitation period, so waiting erodes the right. Document actual payment dates and send a written demand.
Limitation periods vary by the type of claim: late-payment penalties - one year, and sometimes only 60 days; claims under specific statutes, such as the Equal Employment Opportunities Law - three to five years; and other claims, as a rule, seven years. The sooner you act, the better the prospects for preserving evidence and options.
The law was reviewed as of 19 October 2026.
