Frequently asked questions
I was dismissed without a hearing. Is that lawful?
No. Before dismissal the employer must hold a hearing: give notice of the reasons in advance, let the employee be heard and weigh the matter on its merits. The defect in the procedure is itself a ground for compensation, even where the reason for dismissal is found to be justified.
When is severance pay due?
The basic condition is one continuous year with the same employer. The right is also kept on resignation in circumstances the law recognises: worsened conditions, moving home, the health of the employee or a family member, childbirth and more.
How long do I have to file in the labour court?
The general limitation period for monetary claims is seven years, but for some claims the law sets much shorter periods, and any delay harms the evidence. The deadline has to be checked against the specific ground, not the general rule.
Divorce: the rabbinical court or the family court?
The dissolution of the marriage itself is done in the rabbinical court, but property, maintenance and children’s matters can also be heard in the family court. Who applies first, and where, often decides where these issues are heard, so the decision is taken before filing, not after.
Inheritance without a will: where do I start?
By applying to the Registrar of Inheritance for an inheritance order. When there is a dispute between heirs, or an objection to a will, the file moves to the family court.
Do you also accompany companies, not only private clients?
Yes. Support with agreements, employment relations with staff, debt collection and disputes with contractors and suppliers.
