Israeli pay and hours, explained
The rules that decide what a shift actually costs are scattered across several laws and a calendar that moves every week. These guides put each one in plain language, with the numbers written out. They describe the law, not our product — Noviq implements these rules, which is why we can explain them precisely.
Shabbat and holiday pay
Why the premium starts at candle-lighting rather than a fixed hour, and why the same shift costs different amounts in Jerusalem and Haifa.
Overtime pay: 125% and 150%
The 125% and 150% blocks, what counts as a regular day, and why an unpaid break changes when overtime starts.
Employing under-18s: the hours rules
Minimum ages, the night ban that differs under and over 16, daily and weekly caps, and the rest rules — including which have no permit at all.
Youth minimum wage, and the shortcut that gets it wrong
The 70/75/83% brackets, the 173-hour divisor, and the shortcut that understates every bracket by about 7%.

Timesheets and pay periods
What counts as worked time, how pay periods that do not start on the 1st behave, and how long wage records must be kept.
