Employee Layoff Rights in Israel What Are They

Employee Layoff Rights in Israel What Are They 3 If you were laid off in Israel recently or know someone who was, make sure all your termination rights were respected. This article will tell you what those layoff rights are. This article is a guest post by Israpay's Moshe Egel-Tal, CSPP. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. What are the Israeli employee's termination rights? Prior notice An employer is required by law to give prior notice to an employee upon layoff. The employer can waive the employee's services for this period of time but it must be paid in full regardless. If your tenure with the employer is less than 6 months, you are entitled to 14 days prior notice and if your tenure is 6 months or more you are entitled to 30 days prior notice.eval Severance pay If you worked at least a year with the present employer in most cases you are eligible for severance pay. Severance pay needs to be paid within 30 days of termination and is paid by the employer or a severance pay fund.eval Unused vacation days Any unused vacation days that you have accrued must be paid out to you in your last payslip. Termination letter This is of utmost importance, especially if you intend on filing for unemployment benefits: make sure the letter is on company stationery, dated and states the reason for termination and the effective termination date. Pay attention that the effective termination date should be *after* the prior notice period. For example: an employee with 5 years' tenure receives a termination letter dated Jan 1st saying that he will be terminated, effective Feb 1st i.e. after the 30-day notice period. This is legal. However, if the letter had said “effective Jan 11th” â€" this is illegal. Other critical documents to get when laid off in Israel Release letters for any savings, pension or hishtalmut funds These are a must- without them you will not be able to withdraw from any of the funds. The letters need to be on company stationary, dated and should be addressed to the fund. Each letter must specify that you have stopped working for the employer and that the employer releases the amounts accumulated in the fund to you, specifically the employer's and the employee's parts. In each case, the employer sends the letter to the fund and you receive a photocopy. Make sure it is signed and has the employer's stamp on it as well. Keep this in a safe place, preferably with the policy or yearly statements the fund sends you. Authorization letter of employment This is required by law and is a proof of employment. Should be kept on file with your records and needs to include name, ID number, job description, start and end dates. A copy of the 161 tax form Only when you're eligible for severance pay: if you file for Israeli or foreign tax returns, this is the official document which states your severance pay due and the taxes paid on it. For each year of tenure, there is a ceiling which is tax exempt. In 2009, that ceiling is NIS 10,980. Unless your monthly salary was higher than the ceiling, it should be exempt from taxes. Recommendation letters or referrals Always a good idea, especially if you were laid off due to cutbacks, the economic situation, etc., in other words, at no fault of your own. Make sure these are on company stationary, dated and state your name, position held, tenure and responsibilities. Ask your supervisor or boss, who will usually be happy to write a recommendation letter for you. Internal contact lists You never know when you might need to contact someone from this place of employment. Write down names, job descriptions and phone numbers of colleagues and key personnel (like the HR dept, payroll). Make sure you have the employer's contact information as well e.g. from an empty envelope or other piece of company stationary. The above information pertains to employees whose pay is monthly based. Temporary hire through agencies, hourly employees and others â€" there may be some differences in the law.

Whats the best graduate job

Whats the best graduate job Ive had several conversations this week with students wanting to find the best job with the best employer. Thats quite a quest! How  do  you  find the best employer in any given sector? Lots come onto campus and give presentations. Many  explain why theyre best. Perhaps they pay more than anyone else, or offer the most interesting work, or do the most good in society. Maybe they have the biggest or the most international business but they cant all be the best. So what does best mean? The best job isnt defined by any of the above ideas. Its the one which is right for you! You need to work out what you want and to organise your priorities. What might those priorities be? Here are some of the things which you  say matter to you. Prestige Some of youll be motivated by a need to work for an organisation which has a reputation for  excellence in a particular area. If accountancy is your thing youll want  the Big Four, lawyers might fancy the Magic Circle, but perhaps it gets a bit more complicated in other occupational areas. What about a retail career? Tesco might not be riding high right now, but is Aldi as prestigious as John Lewis? Aldi will pay you more, does that equal prestige? Would your mother rather tell her friends that you work for John Lewis? Theres no straightforward answer to which is the most prestigious job. Remuneration Surely pay is a clearer measure. Some organisations pay more than others. Most students are keen to earn as much as possible. Arent we all? But, if your high paying job involves working long hours without overtime, might your hourly rate actually be less than that of someone who earns less, but works in a post where theres no expectation of working longer than contracted hours? What about how far your money goes? If youre on a grad scheme in London your rent will cost a fortune and buying yourself a little flat will probably be a long term aspiration. However, if you decide to stick around in the West Midlands your rent will be more affordable and you might soon be  able to buy  a property. You could find you have more of the all important disposable income. International Travel That sounds fun! Youve always enjoyed travel so business trips to far flung destinations might be  a real pull. Or are they? If a business trip just means exhausting long haul travel, the inside of hotels and offices and no free time to explore, the glamour might start to pall. Perhaps the lower paid job with no travel but generous holiday arrangements will actually give you more chance to travel and see the world. Intellectual Challenge This ought to be clear cut. As a graduate youre going to want to be challenged. But different people enjoy different challenges! While some will want the adrenalin rush associated with making high pressure, complex decisions, where millions of pounds are at stake, others will enjoy trying to work out how to engage the disruptive child in the classroom. Theres no objective way to say which poses the greater overall challenge or even which affords the greater responsibility. Is the loss to a bank of a few million pounds  as important as a whole class of children missing out on an hours education because someone  wont behave? Work Life balance This is all looking rather complicated! Perhaps it is easier to figure out what work life balance means to you. If youre going to work to live and sport, music, theatre or just spending time with friends or family is what makes you happiest, then youll be clear that you need a job which allows you to enjoy free time. If you live to work then youll not be bothered by long hours. Just one thing, when youre thinking through all this dont just think about now, try to project yourself forward ten years. If your dream is to settle down with a partner, should you factor into your planning the thought that your attitude to work might change in the future? Working environment Who wouldnt want to work in the really smart offices with the lovely restaurant and gym? Well,  perhaps the person who would like to have the flexibility to work from home, or who wants to be running his or her own business, or who craves the early responsibility  which can often come from working for a small or medium sized enterprise.  If having a say in the running of a business is important to you, then  early responsibility could well make up for a less palatial office. Some people love the buzz of City life, for others its anathema, they just want to get back to breathe country air. So, what does all this mean? Theres no definitive best job! We cant set up a competition to find the winner. The best job is the one thats right for you and for how you want to lead your life when you leave university. Dont let anyone tell you otherwise! Think through your priorities and consider making an appointment to talk things through with your career advisor. Do the job which is going to make you happy!

Bali Is A Solo Travelers Dream

Bali Is A Solo Traveler’s Dream Although some people have certain reservations towards traveling solo, solivagantry (solitary wandering) is actually a great opportunity to meet other cultures and make new friends. One of the top destinations to explore the world that is much different than the ’western’ one is Bali, even though it’s geographically pretty close if you’re from the Oz land. You also shouldn’t be worried or reluctant to travel alone if you’re a girl, as Bali is generally considered to be a safe place (even though some men tend to be a bit too friendly at times). We present to you some of the reasons why you would want to immediately book a flight to Bali and see for yourself all the glorious things that others are oh so eagerly telling you about. You like the picturesque, otherworldy nature? Check. You like unwinding on an azure beach while chugging cocktails all day long? Check. You like pampering your body and hitting the day spas? Check. You like to party all night long? Check. You like catching the waves? Bali is a mecca for surfing, too. Traveling solo to Bali can also work wonders for you if you’re on a journey of self-discovery and exploration. You can visit Balinese temples, enjoy Balinese traditional dances, visit galleries, workshops, cooking classes, or learn/exercise yoga with some of the true experts in the field. Truthfully speaking, Bali has so much to offer to you, that you won’t feel dull for one single moment, no matter how long you decide to stay. These are some of the tips on what to see and visit, dos and don’ts â€" and the list is in no way conclusive since Bali truly has so much to offer to a solo traveler. Where To Go And Reasons To Go No matter where you actually end up staying, Bali is definitely worth exploring and going around to see other places as well. You won’t get bored if you stay only at one place and don’t wander around too much, but if the opportunity presents itself, make sure to take advantage. Ubud is the small village in Bali which is really getting popular in recent years. There are so many beautiful, breath-taking temples there, that you’ll instantly feel invigorated and re-energized if soul-searching is what you came for. You’ll quickly find out why Ubud means ’medicine’ in Balinese, which is the island’s native language. Other than that, there are also rice terraces and the monkey forest that you don’t want to miss. The traditional Balinese food is served all around the island and make sure to try dishes like Nasi Kuning (which consists of yellow rice served topped with a fried egg) and Satay (pork or chicken meat grilled in peanut sauce). You’ll also find many spas and yoga studios all around the island. As far as money goes, Bali, in general, can be both really cheap and expensive, depending on the way you want it. For instance, you can get an entire day of pampering your body in spas for less than 40 bucks, but you can also opt for dining in fancy restaurants all the time and buying overpriced things, and end up spending a fortune. Berawa is also a popular tourist area and a part of Canggu (it’s actually located right between Seminyak and Canggu) with its own peculiarities. This part is a paradise for people who are gastronomes and bon vivants in general (don’t even think about keeping up with your regular diet plan in this place!). Other notable places and areas that you want to consider staying at are Kuta, especially if you like shopping and don’t mind all the tourists; Seminyak â€" which is also loaded with action, so expect it to be crowded; Umalas â€" the place that you’d want to choose especially if you’re more into chilling out and relaxing since it’s still overlooked at times (compared to the other places we’ve mentioned thus far); Uluwatu â€" if you like to surf and enjoy a relaxing, almost hippie ambiance, search no further; Jimbaran Bay â€" another great option if you want to dip your toes in sand and loosen up. What To See? If you’re still not fully convinced that Bali is an amazing location for you, we recommend visiting some of the coolest festivals that you’ll get a chance to experience in your lifetime. In case you’re a fan of music, there are a lot of music festivals which are located down the southern coast of the island. Seminyak hosts a Sunny Side Up Tropical Fest at Potato Head. A large food festival (both vegan and regular) is happening in Ubud, and you don’t want to miss it if you’re around when it’s in full swing. Other than these, Bali also hosts the largest yoga festival in Asia â€" the aforementioned BaliSpirit Festival. The important thing to note here is that this one’s not specially reserved only to those yoga aficionados who come to Bali only for this occasion. Girls who travel solo will get a chance to enjoy the artworks, music, dancing, soul and body healing in beautiful an utterly memorable life-changing experience. Where To Stay? Finding accommodation is fairly easy in Bali. You can opt for hotels, hostels, guesthouses, homestays, villas, wellness resorts, etc. When you’re traveling alone, we would recommend you to find a guesthouse or a villa where you can meet other people more easily, and this is especially advisable if it’s your first time in Bali and you don’t know much about the place. These guesthouses and villas usually include breakfast and those amazing swimming pools that you can use for free. Villas are also a good option to pick since you’ll have more privacy than you would if you were staying at the hostel. They are also quieter and you’ll quickly feel as if you’re at home, but with one ’slight’ difference â€" all that jaw-dropping and staggering things are within your hand’s reach. What (Not) To Eat (and Drink)? We’ve already covered some of the basic things when we’ve mentioned Nasi Kuning and Satay dishes, and Ubud food festival as well. But this really doesn’t even come close to the things that you’ll get a chance to taste while you’re there. Balinese cuisine is well-known for the dishes that are fresh, spicy, but also well-balanced. Solo travelers can get a chance to actually learn to cook Balinese style dishes, as they’re sometimes welcomed by local Ibus (Balinese for ’mothers’) to join them in the kitchen. So, not only will you be able to enjoy the meals that are freshly prepared by the locals, but you’ll also have an opportunity to learn some of the cooking crafts of Balinese traditional cuisine. It doesn’t get much cooler than this, especially if you consider yourself to be a foodie. But there are also some things that you most definitely want to avoid. Never, ever, drink the tap water (not even to rinse your mouth after brushing your teeth!), and generally, avoid suspicious looking street food like Bakso. One of the things that you want to avoid when going to Bali is getting the infamous Bali belly. Although there are local pharmacies and stores that sell medicines that can patch you up so you can continue enjoying the island, it’s never fun to lose any sleep or time vomiting or having diarrhea. Drink plenty of water, but just make sure that it’s bottled. Also, don’t drink spirits and alcoholic beverages that you don’t know where exactly are they coming from. There were some reported cases of pure methanol being sold instead of ethanol. You’ll quickly learn that there’s a big difference between those two, in case you don’t know that already. General Dos and Don’ts We and you both already know that you’ll have a great time if you visit Bali solo. You’ll travel around and meet other people and culture that’s probably very different than yours. You will be enjoying the beautiful beaches, spas, wellness resorts, manicures, pedicures, massages. You’ll eat the food that tastes and looks amazing, and relax by the pool or in your comfy room. You may visit the arts, music, dance, food festivals, learn to cook with the locals, visit the workshops and temples. You’ll get a chance to see the monkey forest, rice terraces, and many, many other different things. But there are some general rules, and dos and don’ts when it comes to visiting Bali. First of all, be aware that the rainy season starts somewhere around October and ends in March. The best time to go is probably from May till September. Secondly, avoid being out in the sun from 11 am to 3-4 in the afternoon. We’ve already told you to stay away from suspicious-looking food and drinks, and here’s a bonus tip: stay away from drugs at all costs â€" you can get in more trouble than you can handle. Be aware of traffic accidents. Bali has notoriously dangerous traffic. If you rent a scooter to go around the island, wear a helmet. In case you’re not on a budget, you can also consider hiring a driver for the day (or even for the entire stay). They aren’t as expensive as you might think (they usually charge around $50 a day), so this is a really nice option which offers you to enjoy the beautiful scenery even more. You can gaze through the car window and not worry about the traffic at all. In Summary: Who Is This Trip For? This solo travel to Bali is especially appropriate for all of you girls out there who are looking to spice things up a little bit and experience something quite different. So, whether you’re a world traveler and have seen many places, or you actually don’t get a chance to explore the globe that much, Bali offers a perfect opportunity for you to spend either an active vacation full of unforgettable experiences or to completely relax and unwind in peace and quiet. But Bali isn’t just for vacationing either. Many people today are living that extremely popular ’digital nomad’ lifestyle, and choose Bali as one of their top destinations for workations. If you’re among the lucky ones who aren’t attached to their offices and you’re working remotely, you definitely want to take advantage of that and try out what thousands are doing every day. There are a number of good reasons why people all around the globe are opting for workations in Bali: it’s relatively cheap with good WIFI connection, and they also get to experience all the amazing things that we’ve listed for you in this article. So, don’t hesitate any longer â€" Bali is waiting for you with both arms spread wide open. Yours is just to come over and see everything for yourself.

How to Negotiate Flexible Working Hours Like a Boss!

How to Negotiate Flexible Working Hours Like a Boss! How to Negotiate Flexible Working Hours Like a Boss! The idea of a traditional nine-to-five office job is fast falling out of fashion. These days most people are interested in working with more flexibility when it come to the hours they put in. Having an inflexible schedule can make it difficult for many employees with family commitments concerning children or care for elderly relatives. Having the option of working from home for part of the week, or working over the weekend in exchange for days off during the week can better accommodate those employees who may find it difficult to commit to a strict Monday-through-Friday, nine-to-five job.The rise in the numbers of telecommuters (employees who work from home) has exploded over the last decade with an increase of 115%. Many company bosses are now realizing that if they want to hang on to their most valuable workers, they have to allow some elbow-room over flexible working arrangements.If you have seen any of your work colleagues being moved to a more flexible schedule that would als o better suit your needs, then it is worth having a word with your boss. It may be that your company never used to offer an option of being able to work from home for part of the week, but they do now.Before you go barging in to challenge your boss, it is better to stop and think about your approach and go in prepared.Check your employment contractWhen you were first employed in your role, you would have been given a contract and an employee handbook. Dig these out and carefully read through them to check your company rules and regulations. It is quite possible that you didnt read absolutely everything when you first took the job, so you may be able to use some of the information contained in your contract or written within the employee handbook to your advantage.If you do spot anything written in either of these documents that pertain to flexible working hours or being able to work from home, then you can bring these points up early in your conversation with your boss. This will sh ow that you have done your homework and you know your rights. Plan out a workable scheduleWhether your handbook or contract states you are entitled to flexible working options or not, it is worth working out a plan of how you would divide up your hours. You will need to sit down and work out a schedule for either a weekly or monthly basis that can be easily implemented and will cover all your contracted hours.Your plan must clearly demonstrate to your boss that your company would not lose out by giving you a flexible working contract, and that you would be easily contactable during those working hours spent at home or from another planned location.One of the most important elements for your flexible working plan would be for the safe sharing of any files and sensitive data that you may need to work on while out of the office. It could be that the company have a secure cloud-based system that can be accessed safely for collaborative work on joint projects. You have to think of a s olution to every obstacle that could be put in your way to prevent flexible working arrangements from going ahead. You have to do everything you can in advance to give you a better chance of it being approved.Work â€" life balanceOne important area to sort out here is how you are going to balance your work and life schedule. With flexible home working, there is every chance of the two overlapping, so you need to make sure that you will be able to cope with the demands of both.Flexible working is the perfect solution for when you have to nurse a sick child that is off from school or for the time during school holidays, or being able to take an elderly relative to an important hospital appointment during the daytime. For you to comfortable achieve this you will need to work out with your boss whether there are certain days of the week when you absolutely have to be in the office. This may be for important meetings or to be able to complete certain aspects of your job.Work out which ta sks you can do remotely from home. It is better to have a dedicated office at home or an area that you can section off to work from. Ensure that your boss will be able to reach you quickly when needed. This may be via a work phone that you can have switched on during your office hours at home, or through email, messenger or Skype set-up where you can have a conversation when needed.If you take some time to plan out a sound flexible working schedule before you approach your boss, you will not only be able to give them a well thought out, ready-made solution to follow, but will show them that you are skilled and responsible enough to take this on. It would be difficult for them to refuse! previous article Modern Resume Design Freebie | Stylish Header next article Modern Pink Resume Design | Misty Rose you might also like6 Online Gigs You Can Do During Coronavirus Outbreak (To Offset Your Lost Income)

Happy babies at work - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog

Happy babies at work - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog CNN has a great story of a small company who tried an innovative solution when four key employees became pregnant at around the same time: We had fewer than 25 employees at the time, and the soon-to-be moms were our head of publicity, a media buyer, the manager of print production, and a senior account executive. Each had client and supplier relationships that were vital to our business. Plus, conducting four executive searches at the same time would be costly. So I decided to try something radical. A few months before they left for maternity leave, I invited the women to bring their babies to work when they returned. The moms were so thrilled to be close to their babies that none ever dropped the ball when it came to work. When one had to run to a meeting, another babysat. We made sure employees who couldnt stand the sound of crying babies didnt sit near the romper room. As we grew to become the $60-million-a-year company that we are todaywe now have 150 employees who fill six historic homes in Austin and an office in New York Cityadditional moms and even dads brought their babies to work. So far, 33 babies and a small army of dogs have grown up at our company. I cant measure in hard numbers the impact of the goodwill that our family-friendly policies have had on productivity, but our local newspaper routinely names T3 as one of the best places to work in Austin. They do have one rule, though: No goats! I like this approach (to the babies, not the goats) and I think it has massive potential. It reframes the situation from Oh no, one of my employees is pregnant, thatll create huge problems to yes, pregnant employee, what fun! Kirsten Stendevad, a friend of mine, has written two books on the subject. One is about motherhood and how it can be a career boost, rather than a hindrance. The other she co-wrote with her husband Esben Kjaer, and it takes a similar approach to being a father. Both books are only available in danish so far. All of this is yet another case of self-fullfilling prophecy. When you approach something as a problem, you make it a problem. Regard the same situation as an opportunity and, well this story speaks for itself. May I add: Yes! Crisitunity! Thanks for visiting my blog.
