A private house cleaner is legally considered a “domestic worker,” granting rights under Israeli labor law.
Mandatory benefits:
✔ Pension (after 6 months or immediately with existing fund)
✔ National Insurance
✔ Paid vacation days
✔ Sick days
✔ Holiday pay (for eligible workers)
✔ Travel expenses
✔ Severance pay (if applicable)
Failing to meet these requirements exposes the employer to legal claims.
