Israeli Salary and Labor Law QA with Moshe Egel-Tal

Israeli Salary and Labor Law QA with Moshe Egel-Tal 4 The questions cover ageism, maternity leave, severance pay and overtime for part-timers. The answers are the result of followups to the JobMob Pro Chat with Israeli Payroll Specialist Moshe Egel-Tal. In some cases the names have been changed. Ageism Bena asks: I was wondering whether it is illegal for prospective employers (or employment agencies) to ask your age even before they interview you or even consider you for a prospective position with a company. I have had numerous situations where my qualifications are clearly listed on my C.V., including years I graduated undergrad and grad school and still the prospective employer or head hunter here will ask me my age claiming that it is relevant to my level of experience. When I refuse to give it they basically do not contact me again. How legal is it to ask that question? Moshe replies: This is a problem that is hard to work around because of the way employers in Israel do things. It is illegal by law to discriminate against workers or potential candidates because of their age. This is specifically listed in the wording of the Equal Opportunities at Work Law (PDF) from 1988 (section 2 a). What you can do is file a complaint with the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor. Ask for the Natziv Ezori's (area commissioner) phone number and address. Make sure you have the name of the company, name of the person who interviewed you (even if it was via telephone) and the date and time. It is hard to prove as they can always make excuses and say that your other credentials didn't fit what they were looking for. Also even if the commission finds your claims valid, they (the hiring company) will get a fine and probably continue. Know that this type of employer isn't a very serious one and you would probably be better off elsewhere anyhow. Noa asks: Is it illegal to ask someone their age when applying for a job and if so, can you point me to the law/statute/code, etc. which states this? Moshe replies: It is illegal. This is specifically listed in the wording of the Equal Opportunities at Work Law (Hebrew) from 1988. (section 2 a). Maternity leave Sarah asks: I am on an extended maternity leave, i.e., I took the paid 14 weeks and then extended it. Now I don't want to return to my job. I understand that if it is within 9 months of the birth, I can resign from my job and still receive severance pay. What do I need to do? Is it enough to just tell them that I am not returning or must I actually be staying at home to care for my baby? My understanding is that then I need to sign up for unemployment for 3 months (without receiving anything) and then if I am still unemployed (yes, I am looking for a new job, but that is the subject of another post), then I will start receiving payments after 3 months. Moshe replies: All you need to do is write a letter to your employer stating that you hereby resign from your position in order to take care of your baby. Keep the letter short and precise and you shouldn't add anything else. The letter should be dated, signed and you should fax it as well as send it by registered mail to the company's HR dept. It would be a good idea to notify your boss/superior/employer personally by phone, especially if you may need a reference in the future. The law specifically states that when a woman on maternity leave resigns her position in order to take care of her baby within 9 months of birth, her resignation will be seen as termination for purposes of receiving severance pay. Whether you sign up for unemployment compensation is irrelevant and not connected. Severance pay needs to be paid to you within 30 days of receipt of your letter. Pnina asks: As part of my compensation, I am paid a salary and also have a company car. When I go on maternity leave, what happens regarding the car? Do I get to keep the car for the period of paid maternity leave? What if I take a longer maternity leave than the paid period? If I do not keep the car, do I get some compensation for the value that the car is part of my normal pay? Would that come from Bituach Leumi? How do I put this into action? For example, if my pay is 5000 shekels a month (it isn't), and I'm taxed on the value of the car benefit of 2000 shekels, and I don't get to keep the car during leave, would it be possible for my salary to be approximately 7000 shekels according to Bituach Leumi? Do you know of a link to a website that provides this information/or the law (English or Hebrew)? Moshe replies: First of all you should know that the amounts (your monthly salary) listed on the application form for Maternity Leave Compensation from Bituach Leumi are your gross pay (i.e. before taxes) this also includes the worth of the car benefit â€" and rightly so because you also pay Bituach Leumi on that amount as well. This isn't covered by law but rather you should check if your contract with your employer covers this subject or ask HR what the policy is, you can also ask other workers who were absent for prolonged periods of time what the company did with them. If they leave the car with you, you will need to pay taxes on the benefit when you return to work. If the company's policy is for you to return it, that is legal and their right â€" it's their car and they give it as a benefit to come to and from work. so if you aren't working they can ask you to return it. Overtime for part-timers Aharon asks: I work half-time at a local university. If I work too many hours they see it as a donation of my time. If I work too few hours they penalize me. It seems to be a double standard in favor of the employer and against the employee. Is it fair practice not to recognize the extra hours and only penalize for the missed hours? Everyone tells me this is how every place of employment functions. By extra hours I mean half-an-hour to one-and-a-half hours extra several days a week. Small amounts add up considerably by the time a month's wages are calculated. Should I just accept this or is this actually not acceptable but no one dares to make a fuss and lose their job in the process? I wouldn't mind working longer hours, but If I am only hired for a half-time position, isn't the university getting more than they are willing to actually pay for if I work the same hours expected of a two-thirds or even a three-quarters salary worker but only get paid a half-salary wage? If two-thirds and three-quarters salary worker and full-time workers all work longer hours than they are paid for then perhaps I have no basis for complaining. It just seems like a double standard in favor of the employer and I want to know if this is fair practice or a violation of Israeli labor law? Moshe replies: In order to answer your question I need more information as to your terms of employment. While I understand your feelings of being worked over twice, the issue isn't a flat out yes or no answer and is a bit more complex: in general there are many types of contracts, some are labor union or sectoral (such as doctors or nurses or teachers) others are individual personal contracts and some are verbal agreements. The question is whether your employer pays overtime or not. Some employers say flat out that they will not pay overtime. Telling you this up front (whether verbally or specifically in a written work contract) is legal in the fact that you need to get your job done in the specified amount of hours your position specifies and at the same time keep a heads up on the time so that you aren't “donating” time. On the other hand there are employers who will only pay overtime hours that were approved in advance. There are also employers who pay overtime by law (125% for the first 2 hours each day and 150% for any additional hours). As for deducting hours: If you haven't put in the hours you need to know this is legal and most companies do this. There are also contracts that specify a global salary. This means that you receive a certain amount and it is for doing the job regardless of how long it takes you â€" this would usually mean that they won't pay you overtime or deduct hours for missing time. Severance Pay Stephanie asks: What is Israel's legal statute of limitations for an employer vis a vis paying pitzuim/severance to a terminated employee? How long after firing the employee should the severance package be forthcoming, by law? Moshe replies: within 30 days Sheila asks: I have been in my job for 18 years. About a month before Passover a new girl was employed and told to sit at my desk. Nothing was said to me at all about this. The new girl, Jenny, was most embarrassed when she realised what the situation was, and by working part of each day at another table we managed to share the desk and computer. We were due to move into our old building which was being renovated just before Passover. We decided to wait and see what would happen, though having seen the new premises while they were being renovated, I couldn't see a place that was being prepared for me, which when we moved proved to be the case. Due to the extreme kindness of one of my colleagues, I can use his room when he's not there, which is fairly often. However, I haven't got access to an email and am unable to print from his computer. I have written a letter to my boss pointing out the impossibility of my being able to work in this way. He told me that he is aware of the situati on, that a solution will be found, but that he's too busy at the moment to deal with it. Several people of told me that if I chose to leave I will be entitled to full pitzium because my working conditions have been made impossible. Is this the case and, if so, how do I set the ball in motion? Moshe replies: I would say that this clearly is a “worsening of working conditions” (see the definition in How To Quit Your Israeli Job and Still Receive Severance Pay). A lot of employers use this tactic in trying to force an employee out, thinking that if the employee resigns they won't have to pay severance pay. The employee should write a letter stating that her work conditions have been worsened as stated in her previous letter (state them explicitly) and that this was all done behind her back without notifying her of their intentions and thus making her working conditions impossible and due to the company's inability to solve the problem she therefore resigns her position and requests full severance pay.

4 Best Fixes to Get Rid of Under Eye Bags - Classy Career Girl

4 Best Fixes to Get Rid of Under Eye Bags If you’re like me, you love a great bag. One of my favorite bags is a Vera Wang with built-in laptop pouch; I loved it so much for work that I bought two! But I don’t love all bags, namely, those persistent and frustrating, sometimes puffy, circles underneath the eyes. They cause us to look tired and older in appearance. There are endless creams, serums, and diets that tout they can reintroduce that sleek, youthful look and send those bags packing. I was told that my allergies were a contributor to this gaunt look, but what else causes themâ€"and what are they, exactly? Is there a magical solution to keep us looking as flawless as Sleeping Beauty even if we don’t always manage to get enough shuteye? According to the Mayo Clinic, under eye bags result from the weakening of muscles and tissues around the eyes, causing puffiness. The surrounding fat tissue (and sometimes fluid) then takes residence. What’s left is a pillow-like appearance that negatively accentuates the eyes and causes an individual to look older and tired. Under eye bags are most often associated with aging, as the weakening of muscles is an effect of aging and thus this issue is more prominent in older women. Unfortunately aging is not the only factor to hold responsible. 4 Best Fixes to Get Rid of Under Eye Bags 1. Get More  Z’s During sleep our body is in a state of relaxation and paralysis, allowing fluids to build up and stay in certain parts of our body. When we wake, we may notice initial eye bags only to discover that they disappeared a few hours later. These types of bags are normal, as the body flushed the excess fluid out of our system. But stress or fatigue can prevent our bodies from properly flushing and cause persistent under eye bags throughout the remainder of the day. If you discover that your under eye bags are present during your entire work day (especially for a few days in a row), it is a sign that you aren’t getting proper sleep. If you are sleeping the recommended amount and see the issue persist, visit a doctor to check for underlying causes like sleep apnea that could prevent you from getting the sleep you need. 2. Know Your Personal Food Pyramid The food and liquids we put into our bodies have a tremendous affect on our system overall, and beauty experts often praise certain foods for their cosmetic benefits. On the same end they can also cause less-than-desired effects. Alcohol consumption, excessive salt intake, and food allergies (as well as other allergies) also contribute to morning eye puffiness. While some sweet red wine or a skinny margarita are fine in moderation, heavy consumption of alcoholic drinks can damage skin over time by drying it out, making it look dull, and causing acne. It contributes to eye bags by sagging or loosening the skin. Because these tissues weaken, fat tissues and fluid are able to build up in its place, causing the unsightly look. Salt prevents the body from flushing water out of its system, which is necessary in order to expel the fluids under the eye that collected overnight. Not drinking enough water will also alert the body to retain water in an effort to prevent dehydration. By paying attention to your diet and, if possible, avoiding extra sodium, your eye bags should go away once your sodium levels are balanced. If you maintain a diet low in salt but still have eye bags, it could also be from a food allergy to milk or wheat, both of which cause puffiness. 3. Research Your Family Tree Thanks, mom and dad. Your body may be designed to have more fat, less fat, thicker skin, or thinner skin that can contribute to under eye bags. When it comes to hereditary under eye bags there are no lifestyle changes that can be made to help fix or lessen their appearance. Solutions include products specifically designed to treat under eye bags, at home remedies, and cosmetic surgery. But your under eye bags could also be a result of a health issue such as an underactive thyroid. Know your family’s health history and if you feel that there could be an issue, make an appointment with your doctor. 4. Limit Screen Time Most of us have some screen time every day; using your iPhone during your work break to check Facebook, responding to emails on the go, to streaming the latest on Netflix, technology has incorporated itself into our daily lives, but we don’t want those under eye bags that come with using an LED screen to get involved! If you use your devices before going to sleep, the blue light will throw off your internal clock, leading to a harder time falling asleep and less time spent in your REM cycle. Not only that, but you’re damaging your eyesight too; many people who use these devices regularly suffer from digital eye strain. How to Tell Your Bags to Hit the Road Makeup and concealers are ideal for helping to camouflage under eye bags but don’t take care of the underlying cause. Your bags may be caused by several factors while only one causes another woman’s. Knowing your body is the best foundation for building your arsenal against these beauty bummers. If it’s food: Adjust your diet! Reduce your intake of salt and watch your alcohol consumption. Eat foods that are known to help your skin (olive oil, green tea, kale, soy, and kiwi to name a few). If it’s stress: Consider taking up yoga or meditation. Write down your stresses on a peace of paper and rip it to shreds. Curl up with hot tea and a good book. Find a ticket to your zen place. If it’s sleep: Attempt to get the recommended 8 hours. Prevent disturbances by wearing an eye mask to block out light. Do a light yoga routine designed to help bring you to Snoozeville. If it’s allergies: Avoiding outdoor allergens is near impossible, so consider taking an over-the-counter allergy medication, especially during times of high pollen count. You may also be allergic to soaps or certain cosmetics without realizing. If it’s hereditary: While you can try creams, your best bet is to make an appointment with your dermatologist. She can offer you some options, including filler or a laser treatment to tighten the skin. There are other changes you can make to your lifestyle and beauty routines, including: 1. Adding in an eye cream to your morning or night routine (keep it chilled in the fridge for extra assistance) 2. Drink more water. Grab a cute reusable water bottle and take it with you wherever you go. Sip liberally. 3. Try a cooling mask, under eye patches, and/or an eye mask. 4. Sleep with your head slightly raised, which prevents fluids from pooling around your eyes. 5. Stop smoking. Not only is it terrible for your body, it can weaken the skin and cause wrinkles. 6. Be sure to take off your makeup before sleeping. Period. 7. Use a moisturizer, primer, and/or foundation with SPF protection as UV rays can damage your skin. Under eye bags can be a nuisance, especially when trying to conceal them. But there are proven solutions to help you say goodbye to under eye bags and hello to a more youth, confident, classy you!

Finding Sample Resumes For Each Job Search

Finding Sample Resumes For Each Job SearchSample resumes, whether typed or printed, are a great way to demonstrate what types of resumes a job seeker might expect. There are many samples that can be found online or at one of the many libraries and offices that provide samples. One can purchase samples by visiting the library or office of the hiring company, but there are other ways to get them. Many states have their own samples that the unemployed may use.Many people like to see the sample resumes that are available before they write their own. The samples will make them think about the essential information on a resume. A well written resume shows the employer that the applicant is serious about getting the job.Employers do not like to see resumes that are filled with spelling errors or that contain misleading information. They may also be angry when they see that the resume was written by the applicant herself. It is important to review all of the samples so that the applicant kno ws what they are looking for.Some of the sample resumes will give basic information on the applicant that will need to fill in later. Other samples will have the applicant's background checked and correct it. These samples can be used to check the applicant's accuracy. They may also indicate whether the applicant can work in all of the specific locations of the employment.There are sample resumes that have only the basics on the resume. Other samples will have a more detailed resume that includes a cover letter, a job description, skills needed, and references that the applicant should contact. Most employers prefer a more detailed resume that has all of the information included.The applicant should send the resume to the hiring agency and wait for an interview. Then they should send the resume back to the agency. The agency will then make a decision as to whether the resume is a good candidate or not. It is also important to ask the agency to send the resume to many different locat ions. The resumes will be used by employers throughout the country and by different companies. Some agencies are going to pick one or two samples and will be happy to send the same resume to all of the locations. However, they want to make sure that the resume is a good candidate to apply to any of the locations.There are many types of resumes that an applicant can use. Many different types of resumes can be found online. This means that applicants can write a resume in less time that they are trying to find.

5 Project Management Skills to Boost Your Career - CareerAlley

5 Project Management Skills to Boost Your Career - CareerAlley We may receive compensation when you click on links to products from our partners. Managing business projects is a skill that spans a number of career paths and demands a wide range of talents and aptitudes, underpinned by experience and wisdom. To complete projects to a good standard, within budget and to schedule, you require expertise across an array of areas, such as budget and time management, customer relations, prioritization and team leadership to name but a few. However, by taking note of a few sensible tips, the results seen from your project management efforts can be significantly bettered and your business and career will be greatly improved. These are the recommended 5 points to consider: Ensure That You Fully Comprehend the Task This might seem like stating the obvious, however many people plunge headfirst into projects without spending the time to comprehend the project brief properly. Make room in your schedule to look through the information provided by your sales team. Note down any queries you have as you read. If you are not sure about any areas, or have any specific worries, be sure to express these early on, to prevent later confusion. Only once you have fully examined the brief, should you pass the details of it onto your team in a concise and clear manner. Tackle Each Project in an Original way Although you might have to work within a particular framework for a project, you should not forget that each project has its own characteristics. Team members, budget considerations, and time constraints alter should be considered and you need to adjust your modus operandi appropriately. You might have to change your style of leadership to make sure you meet tough deadlines, or alter your method of communicating to suit the different people in your team. Whatever changes you enact, try to retain a flexible approach. Test and Tweak Should your project start off in an encouraging manner, do not automatically think that it will carry on like this. Always monitor the status of your project, to ensure that you are providing what was initially requested in the customer brief. A few styles of project management, like Agile, have scope for customer engagement, usefully checking that their wishes are being fulfilled as you progress. This can save you money and time, by circumventing the requirement for major adjustments, in the event that one crucial missed step is revealed at the projects completion. Express Your Worries Although you are the manager of the project, your role does not extend to conflict resolution. Should one of the members of your team develop a negative attitude and fail to deliver work to a satisfactory level, it might be best to ask his or her supervisor to tackle this, rather than wading in yourself. Disciplinary procedures do not fall within your jurisdiction. Similarly, if you are encountering a high level issue, you should convey this to your supervisor. The more communicative you are, and the more skillfully you raise legitimate issues, the simpler you will find it to address problems as they appear. Theres no Substitute for Experience Irrespective of the amount of time you have worked as a project manager, you can always learn more.
