Violators of the law may be subject to fines and\/or criminal indictments.<\/p>\n
Our law office specializes in Israeli immigration and employment law, helping Israeli and foreign companies obtain all the necessary legal certificates to bring foreign experts to the Holy Land<\/a>. This article provides answers to specific questions a foreign worker or employer may have regarding the process of obtaining a work visa\/permit, the consequences of violating the law, specific regulations, the field in which foreign citizens may seek employment, and much more.<\/p>\n Before we go into detail, we should note that the Foreign Workers Law<\/a> lays out specific rules and regulations for foreign workers employed in Israel. The Foreign Workers Rights Handbook<\/a> details the rights of foreign employees and the extent according to which they differ or concur with the rights of Israeli workers.<\/p>\n In General<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0In order to employ a foreign worker<\/a>, original documentation is required. Also, further background checks must be done on the document and person, to ensure the potential employment is legal.<\/p>\n \u00a0A foreign worker may receive an employment permit from the “service administration to employers and foreign workers department” of the Population and Immigration Authority. This permit must be presented before the worker is hired, and only employers in the fields of construction, agriculture, industry, experts, nursing, and ethnic restaurant industries can employ foreign employees. The government creates specific regulations and quotas for each field respectively.<\/p>\n \u00a0Types of licenses and enforcements on policies are different depending on the situation<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00a0No. Each circumstance is different, and every employer must obtain their own permit to employ foreign workers. There are many factors that go into this, and the fact that this worker has been in Israel for many years does not prove that he is planning on becoming a citizen. Further, the work visa of the employee must be checked, in order to ensure that it is covered for your field of work, etc. Not following these guidelines is a violation of the law.<\/p>\n Only if all the appropriate laws and procedures are followed<\/a>. If you need care for most of the day, one may apply for a permit to hire a foreign worker in nursing. This must be done by checking if the caregiver can still obtain a work visa under the law, through a private licensed real estate agency for foreign workers in nursing. If all of these steps are not followed, it is against the law.<\/p>\n \u00a0It is generally illegal to hire a foreign worker to complete household chores. In addition, it is forbidden to use a caretaker nurse<\/a> to perform other jobs that benefit the rest of the family. Further, an employee holding a work permit in this field is still not able to obtain a job in a different field using the same visa. They must have a valid work visa with the name of the permit holder listed on it.<\/p>\n \u00a0No. If you do not individually hold a permit to hire a foreign worker, it is not legally permitted to do this. The employee only has a visa to work in their specific field<\/a> and for a specific person, so it is not legal for them to work in a different field, and for someone who does not hold the foreign workers permit. This could lead to a large fine or even an indictment.<\/p>\n \u00a0Generally, it is illegal to hire a foreign employee in the field of house renovations. This may only be done through a registered contractor, who legally employs foreign workers through a manpower contractor, licensed by the state<\/a>.\u00a0 The client of the contractor is legally obligated to check whether the employment of a foreign worker is legal through the state\u2019s guidelines or not. If, in any situation, the client of the contractor discovers illegal employment of a foreign worker and does not put a stop to it, he\/she will also be held liable in the situation.<\/p>\n \u00a0No. If you do not individually hold a permit to employ foreign workers, this would be against the law. Further, the employee received a work visa that requires him to work for registered contractors in the building through licensed manpower contractors only. Doing otherwise is a violation of the law for both parties involved.<\/p>\n \u00a0No. These permits are given to construction corporations and licensed contractors only, and only through the condition that they hire foreign workers through a licensed manpower contractor. \u00a0In general, it is forbidden. A rare circumstance in which it is allowed is if a special permit is granted for the worker in the nursing industry, and only for a child who is entitled to a disabled child benefit from the National Insurance Institute and under one of the following conditions.<\/p>\n For all cases, the foreign worker must still be employed through a private bureau (manpower company) that has been licensed by the state.<\/p>\n \u00a0It is not possible to arrange a work visa for a foreign worker to take care of children or any other house work that is not listed on the original visa. Hiring a foreign employee for a child who has not received a special permit to employ a foreign worker to give care, is against the law.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0No, a tourist visa does not cover any form of work in the state of Israel. This individual must return to their home country and begin the process of applying for a work visa.<\/p>\n \u00a0It depends on the visa that the spouse already holds. After a foreign citizen marries an Israeli<\/a>, a gradual process of obtaining citizenship status begins. The current visa of the individual must be checked, and depending on the conditions of the visa, it could be allowed to hire the worker. It’s important to remember that hiring a foreign worker without a permit is against the law in all circumstances.<\/p>\n \u00a0The law allows the inspector to enter a private entity (home\/workplace), if they have reasonable suspicion that illegal actions are occurring.<\/p>\n \u00a0Yes, it is required by the courts and anyone who interferes with the performance of the authority is liable to 6 months imprisonment.<\/p>\n What is the penalty for employing a foreign worker?<\/p>\n
