Managing and Resolving Legal Disputes Between Employees and Employers

• The service may be used to calculate all statutory employment entitlements due to employees.
• The maximum amount of a Statement of Claim that may be filed with the Labor Court through the service under the Expedited Proceedings procedure is NIS 40,700 (as of 2026).
• This amount is updated annually on 1 January in accordance with the Consumer Price Index.

• Where the parties to the employment relationship have not reached an agreement, the service enables a claim to be filed in the following circumstances:
• Claimants are salaried employees who have not received the full statutory employment entitlements to which they are legally entitled during the employment relationship.
• Defendants are employers with whom the salaried employees currently have, or previously had, an employment relationship.
• The Labor Court has jurisdiction only over proceedings arising from an existing or former employment relationship between an employer and a salaried employee. Accordingly, self-employed persons may not file claims with the Labor Court and may not use this service.

The online claim-filing process is quick and convenient and includes:

For the purpose of calculating entitlements, it is advisable to prepare any documents that may assist in calculating the amounts received, including, among others, payslips, Form 106, attendance records, and pension statements.

When filing a claim, it is advisable to attach the following documents to the pleadings:

1. The Statement of Claim will be filed online and reviewed by the Labor Court Secretariat.
2. Once the Statement of Claim has been approved, it will be served on the defendants, together with a requirement to file a Statement of Defense.
3. After the Statement of Defense has been filed, a mediation meeting will be scheduled as part of the judicial proceedings in order to assist the parties in resolving the dispute by agreement. If the parties reach a settlement, notice of the settlement will be submitted to the Judge, who will give it the force of a judgment.
4. If the parties do not reach a settlement, the case will proceed to a hearing before a Judge of the Labor Court.
