The plan builds on the existing minimum wage law – which will raise the wage from the current NIS 4,650 a month to NIS 4,825 on July 1, 2016, and to NIS 5,000 on January 1, 2017 by adding another rise to NIS 5,300 on December 1, 2017.
The new minimum salary per day is 193 NIS
The new minimum salary for a holiday is 290 NIS
The new minimum salary for a weekly day-off (Shabbat) is 435 NIS
Below are the different new minimum salaries, after the deductions allowed by law (for food, housing and medical insurance), INCLUDING weekly allowance:
- Tel Aviv area - 3,911 NIS
- Jerusalem area - 3,940 NIS
- Haifa / Center areas - 3,987 NIS
- South / North areas - 4,008 NIS
Workers are expecting to have this increase this July 1st and migrant caregivers are hoping that there will be no complaints from employers and they'll get to enjoy this good news as early as August this year.
