Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the Prevention of Sexual Harassment Law and the Equal Employment Opportunities Law in order to extend their application to employees of service contractors (in the fields of guarding and security and cleaning) employed at the service client. The amendment states that the service client and the service contractor will bear liability parallel to that of direct employers, including a duty to prevent and handle sexual harassment. In preparing for the second and third readings, the Committee on the Status of Women will examine whether to extend the application to additional service providers and contractors.
