Compensation for Unlawful Dismissal
6/21/2026
Dismissal from Iria
I received a letter of dismissal from the municipality of Lod (effective December 1, 2004), having worked there for 10 years. To this day, I have not received any information from the municipality regarding the terms of my dismissal and no payments. What does the law say about this? If I have not yet been paid compensation, does this not oblige the municipality to pay me a salary? As I was told, there is a court ruling regarding this municipality. Compensation must be paid to all dismissed employees by December 15th. Otherwise, they must be rehired. If this is true, then where can I find out about it? Will the court provide this information?

severance pay upon dismissal
I worked for 10 years in the municipality. Now I have been dismissed. For 6 years I received my salary by checks. Attached to the check was a confirmation (like a payslip) regarding the paid money. This confirmation always had the letterhead of this municipality. And for 4 years, money was transferred to my account and I was given a regular payslip. Does the method of salary payment affect the calculation of severance pay upon dismissal? The municipality claims that I only worked for 4 years, and those confirmations are not payslips. Is it possible to prove that I am entitled to severance pay for 10 years?

Shabbat coincided with a holiday
In cases where work on Shabbat and holidays is mandatory, and Shabbat coincided with a holiday, how should the mandatory work of a security guard (not from a security company) on such a Shabbat be paid – at the holiday rate (according to the collective agreement this is 212%), or higher, if a day off after working on such a Shabbat is not provided?
