Is labor law violated?
I teach at a music school (conservatory) since 2003. Numerous violations have occurred regarding wage payment. I will list them: public holidays are not paid, no pension program has been opened, dmei avra'a are calculated based on the full rate of a regular employee, and not from the teacher's rate (according to the collective agreement), the employee's portion is not deducted for the keren pitzuim, salary is deposited into the account on the 11th-12th of the month. Do all these violations give me the right to resign and receive pitzuim? If the amount in the keren pitzuim is much less than what would have been accumulated by multiplying the salary by the number of years of employment, due to the fact that my portion was not deducted, will the school be obligated to supplement the pitzuim?

Non-payment of holiday days and non-deductions to the pension fund by the employer constitute a violation of labor law and a deterioration of working conditions, under which you have the right to resign and receive severance pay. You need to contact the employer in writing, demand payment for holiday days, deductions to the pension fund, and give him the opportunity to rectify the situation within a specified period, and if he does not rectify the situation, then only then do you have the legitimate right to resign and receive severance pay according to Article 11 of the Severance Pay Law. In your case, it is necessary to notify the employer 30 days prior to resignation.
