Working hours, overtime and rest

**Work week:** The full work week in Israel stands at 42 hours per week. **Work day:** In a workplace where work is performed 5 days a week, a regular workday is 8.6 hours (8 hours and 36 minutes) and one day is shortened to 7.6 hours in the week. In a place where work is performed 6 days a week, a workday is 8 hours (and Friday is shorter) and overtime begins to be paid after 42 regular weekly hours, two hours at a rate of 125% and thereafter 150% for additional hours.
