Vacation and havraa already paid
When does resigning count as dismissal?
- A real worsening of your pay or conditions, or other reasons that make it unfair to expect you to stay.
- Your own health, or the health of a family member, makes it hard to keep working.
- Within 9 months after a birth or adoption, to look after the child.
- Moving home after marriage, or to follow a spouse, to a place too far from work.
- Moving to a kibbutz, a moshav or a development area.
- Reaching retirement age.
Each case has conditions (for example, telling your employer first). Check yours before you resign.

How it's calculated
- Severance: last monthly salary × years of work, with partial years counted. Due after at least one year, on dismissal or a resignation treated as dismissal.
- Section 14: the severance part of your pension fund (8.33% a month) replaces severance, and you keep it even if you resign. At 6% the fund covers 72% and the employer owes the rest.
- Havraa (convalescence pay): after one full year. Days by seniority, times the 2026 day rate (₪451.50 private, ₪511.60 public), times your job size. Unpaid havraa is due for up to the last 2 years.
- Vacation: days by seniority in the Annual Leave Law (after the 2017 change), for this year and the 3 years before. One day is worth your monthly salary ÷ 21.67 (5-day week) or ÷ 25 (6-day week).
- Notice: monthly paid: one day for each of the first 6 months, then 2.5 days a month, and a full month after one year. Hourly paid: one day a month in year 1, 14 to 20 days in year 2, 21 to 27 days in year 3, a full month after 3 years.
- All amounts are gross, before tax. Severance has a tax-free ceiling per year of work.
