• Every month, contributions to the pension program must be made, at the moment, in the amount of 12.5% of the salary (the interest rate consists of 6.5% pension insurance and 6% retirement benefit.

• Wage = basic salary of the employee (t. well. minimum wage or minimum wage allowance) before deductions and excluding overtime

•Deductions begin after 6 months of work (that is, from 7 months of work, after paying 6 salaries)

• Two ways can be calculated:

- Monthly salary with official stamping.

-After the end of employment - the employer pays the employee compensation in the number of deductions, which he should have set aside for the employee during his work period for pension insurance and retirement benefits.

-In any case, it is recommended to deposit a sum to a separate bank account every month.

• An example of the calculation:

Monthly wage * 12.5% * Number of months during which the employee was employed (starting from the 6th month of his slave

Fire).

• Note: if the employee's actual salary is lower than the minimum wage due to deductions, deductions will be calculated from the minimum wage (t. well. - 12.5% * 5,300 shekels). These amounts can reach tens of thousands of shekels, so it is recommended to set aside these amounts in advance and throughout the period of employment.
