Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill amends the Foreign Workers Law so that pension arrangement provisions will not apply to a foreign worker employed by an individual in the nursing care sector, in order to ease the burden on employers whose economic situation is difficult. The explanatory notes state that individuals who employ foreign workers for nursing care are usually elderly or chronically ill people, for whom the foreign worker is the only realistic alternative, and that the pension purpose (an allowance at retirement age) is not actually realized in this employment.
